My point is this.
Many developments in science occur without a framework to explain accurately what is happening, yet the observed phenomenon is real. Indeed many explanations put forward are inadequate, and the Belt's correctly use the progress of Lister, and the issue of contagion - it took sometime before bacteria were seen and categorised etc - but asceptic principles were still effective without that knowledge. If Peter Belt is providing us with inaccurate or even nonsensical explanations, is he trying, as Lister did, to describe something that cannot be observed 'directly' yet. But what he is doing is no more valid or invalid because of this. The phenomenon is there or it isn't.
I think there is also a mistake in assuming a pure scientific approach, with no cross fertilization between different fields - which often leads to those seemingly incompetent models - is better. Everyone remembers Newton, but not his interest in Alchemy. How does that relate to his physics! I won't begin to mention Da Vinci.
