    Challenges→Whether the gravitational field must be quantized is a matter for experiment to decide, not logic.

    Demanding experiment alone to settle what our best theories already structurally require conflates epistemic confirmation with the logico-theoretical constraints of theoretical coherence.

    Key Terms

    Conflates(in argumentation and logic)
    Treats two different things as if they're the same thing, or mixes them up in a way that causes confusion.
    Theoretical coherence(describing what constrains a principle)
    When different ideas, theories, or statements fit together logically without contradicting each other.
    epistemic confirmation(as used in philosophy of science)
    Evidence or proof that shows something is actually true based on what we can observe or test.
    logico-theoretical constraints(as used in philosophy of science)
    Rules or limits that a theory must follow to make logical sense and fit together without contradictions.
    structurally require(as used in philosophy of science)
