Abstract

In the section “From Negative Words and Basic Assumptions”, we postulated that theories and single models must have practical benefit, and thus have to prove themselves in practical application. In many cases, theories are denied this relation to practice and so remain gray. If, however, theories can be combined with practice, both theory and practice begin to shine. Everyone is familiar with detective novels, where the inspector and his/her team, develop, based on first facts, a variety of possible theories, and then little by little, eliminate all the wrong theories after factual verification, until finally, a correct theory remains.
