What counts as empirical data? A humorous heuristic device by way of analogy.

Has anyone experienced a radar storm in the UK in 2024? Has anyone spotted flying pig ice storms raining down from the clouds? Just asking, as I need to check my "smart TV" has not crossed into a slightly different not quite parallel universe. 😅

Empirical photograph evidence of a BBC claim that these occurrences happened, or else a BBC a typo, or a BBC A.I. error or someone at the BBC having a joke evidenced by these photographs of my TV  was broadcast in 2024. 

So, if you have the original publication that's empirical data that it was published in print. Similarly, if it happened in a broadcast and you capture that broadcast and don't alter  it then that's is also empirical data. And if it happened then it is history!

So here, by way of analogy, we can use humour as a heuristic device to mock the Darwin Deification Cult that fact denies what is in historic published print is actually there. They are fact denying our history.

Independently verifiable facts in the historic publication record are facts and published proven lies are lies. Only an idiot or pathological liar can't tell one from another

Daft as a brush pseudo-scholar Darwin worshippers really don't like the newly discovered independently verifiable facts in my book because they puncture the myth-based premise (started as a self-serving proven lie by Darwin) that no naturalist read Matthew's breakthrough pre-1858 pic.twitter.com/2JNSnlvOPI

The independently verifiable disruptively disturbing New Data facts have just spread to Tanzania. Watch out now for the "Knowledge Contamination" across the globe.
