As most other people enrolled in this class, I too was taught the linear scientific method. In grade school we were instructed to come up with a hypothesis, experiment, and then reach a conclusion.  Now, as a college undergraduate, I believe that experimentation in the sciences involves much more than a guessing game to predict whether you are correct. I agree with the theory behind loopy science. In order to make strides and effective advancements in the sciences one has to continually be trying to make meaning of one's observations.  The world appears different to every one of us because of the way in which each person interprets the events they experience. Thus, it is important to constantly try and perceive what we experience, test the different conditions of the event, and then summarize the outcome based upon different behavior. 

In addition, I do agree that you cannot prove that a summary is not true, because a summary involves those events up to the present date & because we are not psychics, it is pertinent that we continually try to prove our previous summary incorrect. In doing so, one will have the intent to continually improve there understanding of the world around them, the interpretation made by others, & will be able to live in the here & now with anticipation of the future, rather than living in the past.
