It is here used in contradistinction from the word "theoretic," the meaning of which is, speculative--imaginary--not tangible,--scheming, but not proving."

While you are explaining what he meant, put in your thoughts about his methods. What does he do with observations that is different from the theoretical scientists that he disagrees with.
