Zetetic- a science method

Rowbotham wrote: "The term Zetetic is derived from the Greek verb Zeteo; which means to search, or examine; to proceed only by inquiry; to take nothing for granted, but to trace phenomena to their immediate and demonstrable causes. 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.
