I 205f
The purpose of the idea of theoreticity of observation should not be to question the contrast between data and theory.
>Input/Output, >Data, >Theory-ladenness.
Theoreticity of observation/theory/Wright: the type if theory ladenness that it needs to bring the distinction data/theory in trouble is a lot more (see above):
 It must be shown that the conditions for legitimate assertion (assertibility) is necessarily a function not only of the content of the report and the quality of the input experience, but also a function of collateral empirical beliefs.
>Assertibility, >Assertibility conditions, >Content, >Experience, >Perception.
I 207
WrightVsTheoreticity of observation/theory ladenness: if all observation is theory-laden, there are no statements, to which any subject is obliged to agree to. (So no "synthetic" statements in the sense of Two Dogmas, final section).
>Analyticity, >Two Dogmas.
Wright: the legitimate assertibility is rather a four-digit relation between:

Statement - subject - experience development - background assumptions.

>Background.
Evidence: Whether a theory is erroneous or properly, must now (see above) be visible in principle at least. However, such confirmation may ultimately only be provided with independent credible data. (VsTheory-ladenness of observation).
>Confirmation.
The Example can show the possibility that this remains undecidable.
