It's perfectly clear to me which of the two is more important:
prediction
or explanation?
Now that I have been self-liberated from fear of circularity,
it's clear that: each is more important than the other!
Here I think you contradict yourself (it's a bit worst than circular).

P.S. Someone pointed out to me off-list that I was far from the
first to have had this epiphany about circular reasoning:
"However, I think Bruno already has this idea.
"Hence a Reality, yes. But not necessarily a
physical reality. Here is the logical dependence:
NUMBERS -> "MACHINE DREAMS" -> PHYSICAL -> HUMANS -> PHYSICS ->
NUMBERS.
--- Bruno Marchal"
But then you said to me: "As for circular, too bad your theories
aren't circular! They'd
explain more."
But ok, I should have written:
PLATONIST NUMBERS -> "MACHINE DREAMS" -> PHYSICAL -> HUMANS -> HUMAN
NUMBERS.
I don't think I was circular there.
