Thanks for the reference to Ibn Taymiyya, John.    (01)

But I don't think Chris Anderson "overlooked the importance of theory
when the generalizations are truly general." I'm pretty sure he
assumed his audience would be familiar with it. Indeed he might well
assume the majority of his audience could imagine nothing else.    (02)

Anyway, are you arguing for the idea that some data cannot be fully
generalized, are you arguing against it, or are you just arguing?    (03)
