I'm partial to the reference class, "theories that make lots of excuses for why it's hard to confirm or reject when it should be very easy, but nonetheless an ape-like creature ran into it one day."
I roll a ball, it slows to a stop. I've just falsified the theory of inertia. What's with all these lousy excuses about "friction"?
Does priming theory fit into that reference class?
