You talk of 'common sense' approaches, and 'the old scientific method'... can you define?

More specifically: how do you decide what is 'natural', if you don't believe in the value of the observational method?

And don't tell me 'it just seems natural'... because that is mere intuition and personal bias - although I've got nothing against intuition - the scientific method relies upon testing, and repeated observation, and repeatability of results, peer review.

Your personal near-mystical 'intuition' must fall by the wayside if hard observational facts contradict it.
