I 266
Under different translations, the theorist must choose the one that gives a fertile hypothesis without the experiment somehow leading his choice.
A chimera is pursued by separating any hypothesis of theoretical physics from the other assumptions on which this science is based, in order to place it isolated in the control of observation. The only experimental control which is not illogical consists in the complete comparison of the whole group of experimental facts with the complete system of physical theory. >Experiments/Duhem.
