Yes. At some level we need to have some type of theory to start moving the data into different piles which we can compare. But if we’re theory constrained we don’t see how to put any order on the data—it’s not even information at that point; it’s that random noise.
But clearly we do find ways to break out of that circle.
When the constrain is the data then intermediate constraints between data and theory are probably not as obvious, the data is not as overwhelming.

Yes, Roam was it. Thanks!
