“How effective will “empiricism” + “scientific reasoning” be in discarding the false and retaining the true?

In this post, feel free to share your experiences; whether right or wrong, we can discuss them to determine their feasibility and use that as guidance for our future work! Promote the right things, discard the wrong ones! Today I read an article saying that empiricism kills people. Two years into his job, the new employee noticed abnormal noises coming from the compressor. He reported this to his team leader and supervisor, but they refused to take action, saying there should be no problems since the compressor had just been put into use; moreover, he was mocked by his colleagues. As a result, within a week the problem worsened and the compressor was damaged! It can be said that empiricism does a great deal of harm! But today we are talking about how experience helps people! Empiricism is the idea that experience should guide everything; it is an abuse of experience! Experience is never wrong; it is a precious asset! Experience, combined with scientific reasoning and proven through practice, turns experience into standard operating procedures! Do you think our operating procedures come naturally? It’s still gradual accumulation! A little salt. How many people has it puzzled! After scientific validation, the cooking robot was created! In this post, feel free to share your experiences; whether right or wrong, we can discuss them to determine their feasibility and use that as guidance for our future work! Promote the right things, discard the wrong ones!

Practical experience, once summarized and elevated to a theoretical level, becomes knowledge, which then guides practice. From practice, to practice.

@Guan Gongyu: Back when we were performing steam purging on the compressors, I heard the project manager from the construction company say, \"What kind of crappy insulation material did your company buy? Look – the insulating metal sheets are hollow inside.\" Upon further investigation, it was found that glass wool is used for temperatures below 300 degrees; our compressors also used glass wool for insulating the steam pipes when they overheated, but this was changed later.

What was done about it later? What was used?

Theory is derived from countless experiences that have been verified through practice, and it serves to guide future generations in applying those insights in practice. When rich experience and theory are combined perfectly, skill development is greatly enhanced.

Practice + Argumentation + Reflection~In a cycle of repetition, continuous improvement!

The empiricism of junior employees might result in the damage of a piece of equipment, while the empiricism of those in leadership positions can lead to losses that are not merely in the tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands; in severe cases, it can affect production safety and even put lives at risk! !

My experience is that once people have experience, they are unwilling to spend time proving it. However, whether past experience or the experience of others is applicable to solving one’s current problems is a risk that one must bear oneself.

Recent graduates need to gain practical experience through work in order to apply theoretical knowledge in practice and realize its value; experience and theoretical knowledge reinforce each other, resulting in 1+1>2

Well said; those in higher positions must especially avoid empiricism
