+'The approach is obviously powerful, and it is hard to see how solid progress of a factual kind could be made in any other way. It produces answers of the kind known as "robust". "Robust" does not of course mean "unequivocally true"  [...] Scientists produce robust answers only because they take great care to tailor the questions.
