Theory Ladenness of Experiment
Philosophical Practical
Are paradigms Incommensurable?
Experimental Design Failure to Observe,
Incorrect Interpretation, Possible Observational Bias
Can a theory-laden experiment test the theory?

Observation cannot function as an unbiased way of testing theories because observational judgments are affected by the theoretical beliefs of the observer.

“There is no appropriate scale available with which to weigh the merits of alternative paradigms” they are incommensurable.”
Barry Barnes ( 1982)

“ It should be remarked of several of these suggested explanations that their acceptance would offer greater difficulties in accounting for the discrepancies among the different results than would the acceptance of the hypothesis that we have here a true polarization due to the double scattering of asymmetrical electrons. ”
Cox et al. (1928)
