"This book is predicated on taking this distinction seriously. Those aspects of knowledge for which there is a good predictive theory, typically a mathematical or scientific one, will be called theoryful. The rest will be called theoryless. I use the term theory here in the same sense as it is used in science, to denote a “good, effective, and useful theory” rather than the negative sense of “only a theory.” Predicting the orbit of a planet based on Newton’s laws is theoryful, since the predictor uses an explicit model that can accurately predict everything about orbits. A card player is equally theoryful in predicting an opponent’s hand, if this is done using a principled calculation of probabilities, as is a chemist who uses the principles of chemistry to predict the outcome of mixing two chemicals.
In contrast, the vast majority of human behaviors look theoryless. Nevertheless, these behaviors are often highly effective. These abundant theoryless but effective behaviors still lack a scientific account, and it is these that this book addresses." - http://www.probablyapproximatelycorrect.com/... | http://web.mit.edu/6...

Logic of Science... kaç zamandir okunacaklar listemde bekleyen kitap, Andrew Gelman da seviyordu bu kitabi diye hatirliyorum.
