The problem here is that if you have experimental results that you have no story to explain, is that really any better than having a story with no experimental results to back it up?
I’m sure there are at least as many successful faith healers as there are instances where raising the minimum wage raised overall employment. The problem is that those results just don’t make sense, so I feel perfectly justified in refusing to accept those results without a valid model to explain them.
