Empiricists draw their theories from the observable, measurable
data that is repeatable under conditions controlled to eliminate
stray variables. Experimental scientists are empiricists. No one
has yet to submit an experimental registration or measurement of
morphic resonance. One who insists that such a creature exists in
the absence of all empirical evidence is hardly how the OED would
define an empiricist
