You have theories, and each prediction as an uncertainty attached to it. The scientific method is there to tell whether the theory holds, must be refined or should be sent directly to the bin. This is why one is experimenting. And this must be kept in mind. What is the current paradigm may just be 'history of science' tomorrow. Data will tell us ;)

Just show me how this cognitive theory can influence a high-energy physics experiment. In short, make predictions so that they can be confronted to data. Without this, I am not even considering buying it ;)
