Some methodical naturalists believe the statement: All knowledge is the result of measurement and testing.
Why is that statement wrong?
Because the statement, itself, cannot be measured or tested. So if it true it is not true which is nonsense.
Also it is not the way we know our friends and other persons. Yet friendship leads to real (though imperfect) knowledge. Thou shalt not put the Lord Thy God to the test.
Therefore MN may or may not be a way of doing science but it can't lead to the whole truth. Are not most scientists interested in the whole truth?
Best wishes,
