P-value significance: (every 20th theory is wrong!)
<.05, <.01
(chance of false positive)
Pearson correlation:
|r2| > 0.3 Medium
|r2| > 0.5 Large
Wikipedia: A correlation of 0.9 may be very low if one is verifying a
physical law using high-quality instruments, but may be regarded as
very high in the social sciences where there may be a greater
contribution from complicating factors

Oriented
Remove bad metaphors (top-down, stimulusresponse) and add better ones (interactive processes)
These are philosophic, metaphysical, and are about inducing
Of course, what philosophers say about metaphysics, many can say about
philosophy!
