I'm not sure what point you're trying to make, if you're trying to make one.
One other constructive criticism: why don't you consider some non-examples? I mean, theories that gave good predictions, seemed to generalize, and then, didn't?
I can't think of any stellar examples right now, but the lame example of the black swan comes to mind.
