I would think that if one can make accurate prediction based on the sum total of their observations, and then have those predictions verified by multiple, seperate entities, then a good case for justifying the observations has been made.

The only "flaw" with this line of thinking would be to introduce shared consiousness between entites. In other words, If I can predict where a celesital body will be at a given time, Do I Teach someone else how to predict them mathematically, or do I introduce them to a portion of my thought process and we begin to share a conciousness? But if this is the case, then how come we develop errors in equations when working through them?

Apply Occam's Razor to these two thoughts and see what floats ans what sinks.
