empirical
This term carries a strong association with the scientific method and rigorous verification. It suggests a reliance on what can be seen, measured, and repeated in the real world, rather than relying on intuition, faith, or abstract mathematical proofs. In academic and professional settings, calling a finding empirical implies it is objective and grounded in data. It is often used to contrast a practical approach with a theoretical one, where the former prioritizes the actual outcome over the predicted model.
Ý nghĩa
Based on observation or experience rather than theory or pure logic.
"The researchers provided empirical evidence to support their claim."
