Not the usual bullshit you were expecting from the <philosophy of Science>, right?

Some notable quoters:
* <Jacques Monod> has the exact quote as presented here: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22042272/[], though presumably it was in <French (language)>, TODO find the French version
* https://youtu.be/AYC5lE0b8os?t=41 A Computational Whole-Cell Model Predicts Genotype From Phenotype- Markus Covert by "Calit2ube" (2013), see also: <whole cell simulation>{full}
* the book <Genius: Richard Feynman and Modern Physics by James Gleick (1994)> mentions a few incidents of this involving <Feynman>, see e.g. chapter "New Particles, New Language" where he and fellow theorist <Hans Bethe> immediately spot problems with experimentalists' data in suspicious results
