Wellfed, I might point out what my friend and physicist Jack Bybee thinks how Feynman would have reacted to the IC. He would have tried it. Jack, by the way, worked with Richard Feynman as a consultant on superconductivity in the late '60's, at Caltech so he knew him well.
Feynman also had an opinion on 'The Scientific Method' .
He said: "Briefly, However, the only principle is that experiment and observation is the sole and ultimate judge of the truth of an idea. All other so-called priciples of the scientific method are by-products of the above which depend on the nature of the material and what is found out. There are, furthermore, a number of tricks (like reasoning from analogy or choosing the "apparently simplest" explanation) which have been found to increase the ease with which we cook up new ideas to subject to the test of experience"'Perfectly Reasonable Deviations (from the beaten track)' by Richard P. Feynman p.141
