Nassim Nicholas Taleb Quote

Charlatan was held to be a synonym for empirick. The word empiric designated someone who relied on experiment and experience to ascertain what was correct. In other words, trial and error and tinkering. That was held to be inferior—professionally, socially, and intellectually. It is still not considered to be very intelligent.
