Empirical: # Empirical Empirical means based on real observation, experience, or experiments rather than theory or guessing. When something is empirical, it's proven by actually testing it or seeing it happen in the real world, not just thinking about it logically. For example, empirical evidence might be data collected from a survey or results from a scientific experiment that shows what actually occurs.
convergence(alternative to consensus-based public reason): A model of public justification that allows appeals to religious reasons, thereby not requiring exclusively secular justifications
cross-cultural expert consensus(what is absent from food preferences but present in taste judgment): When experts from different cultures and backgrounds all agree on something based on their professional knowledge.
culinary preference(being contrasted with aesthetic or artistic judgment): Personal likes and dislikes about food and cooking.
