Do they have even slightest idea what "empirical" means?

Our cheap-deaf-dumb-agressive "objectivists" would be surprised by the following, no doubt:
1 : originating in or based on observation or experience
2 : relying on experience or observation alone often without due regard for system and theory
3 : capable of being verified or disproved by observation or experiment
(Source: Merriam-Webster dictionary).
