Not the authors; the readers; though I don't think the authors are generally aware of the problem either.

Verifiability is not heuristics. I'm combining in the term verification the two scientific concepts of direct observation and falsification. By elaborate theories, I'm referring to occam's razor.

My post isn't a theory post. It contains a few ideas and a lot of observations, but the assumptions are pretty straightforward and they're related to the central concept of scientific analysis, but not dependent on one another. The general statement about schools is not dependent on the specific statement about math, nor is the argument about math dependent on the argument about whether rationality is sufficient. And I try to be exact with my phrasing to specify my uncertainty where it exists.
