This is science. When your theory is contradicted by overwhelming

category: it has been falsified by the experimental results.
I don't see that, because AFAICT, the MGA only works for a non-robust
ontology. So the only valid conclusion to draw is that COMP +
non-robustness has been falsified by the experimental results. Which
is what I state in my paper.
COMP assumes of course at least a robust reality (N, +, *).
MGA is just used for people believing that the UD needed to be
executed *physically* (i.e. they need a robust physical universe). MGA
does not show that illogical, but it shows that physicalism and/or
primitive matter invokes a god-of-the-gap.
