Edit : You know, you do really have to put in some serious fucking effort to get your research funded. Unlike Homeopathy it seems where the plural of anecdote seems to be fact.
Yes, I was just playing devils advocate with that really. Although, it might be argued that mathmatical proofs are all well and good until, as seems possible, things 'down' there keep getting weirder and weirder. I've read that some physicists have admited the possibilty that our definitions of how things work may well be redundant if/when we find out the quantum world is even madder than we might allow for. I quite like those possibilities though.
