Necessary Clarification:

What I meant was that all theory that
was once thought to be 'true', but
which was replaced by more-encom-
passing theory, was "replicable" before
its shortcomings came to be understood.

Ptolemaic Astronomy is still "replicable",
and there's worth in doing so -- to see
things from its perspective, which enables
one to see other stuff in non-standard
ways.

You know -- "look everywhere", remem-
ber what's in-there, and, to the degree that
one does so, one has, in one's possession,
more ways of approaching the understand-
of everything else -- TD E/I-minimization
happens within one's nervous system, draw-
ing one's attention to what one would not
have, otherwise, "recognized".

In other words, one =can= "prepare to
discover", to the degree that one is willing
to do the work inherent in "looking every-
where" [See the discussion of the "volitional
diminishing-returns decision", AoK, Ap7.]
