Newton may have borrowed from Hooke and he himself acknowledged:
"If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants"
Likewise Einstein may have borrowed from Minkowki and he himself echoed the same phrase of acknowledgement.
Both created science by induction, not by deduction.
Newton did not prove that F = md²x/dt² or F = Gm1m2/r².
Einstein did not prove dilatation of space & time or curvature of space-time.
The proof of the pudding is in the eating.
Their theories have been accepted as true because they explain experimental results.
Newton explained astronomical observations of planetary motions from his theory.
Einstein explained astronomical observations of Jupiter's moons and predicted a certain deviation during the solar eclipse of 1918.
Also Gauss invented most of his mathematics with the purpose of helping to interpret astronomical observations.
He also invented modulo arithmetic to calculate the date of Easter. "Notiones, non notationes"
On the subject of weakly solving chess, I induce from data: AlphaZero autoplay at 1 s/move and 1 min/move, ICCF WC results.
"You can't use an error rate derived from imperfect play and imperfect evaluations."
Yes I can draw conclusions from data.
I agree. You can and do regularly draw (faulty) conclusions from (faulty) data.
All the gobbledegook about ultra weekly solving (which is as silly as "semi-strong" if you actually understand the definitions of weak and strong solutions, which are yes/no propositions) is just you making more assumptions that won't hold up.
