 Malik (2017, 86) states that these arguments are the reason why “very few [authors] use Hacking’s nomenclature of observation/experiment” and goes so far to conclude that “to (try to) distinguish between observation and experiment is futile.” There is no point delineating the two except perhaps in certain narrow domains; e.g., Hacking’s notion of the experiment based on creating phenomena might be useful within a narrow domain of particle physics. (See also Chang 2011.) He advocates avoiding the distinction altogether and opting for “the terminology [that] underlines this sense of continuousness” (Malik 2017, 88) instead. If we want to analyze scientific practice, the argument goes, we should leave behind the idea of the distinction as fundamental and turn to the characterization and analysis of various “epistemic activities” instead, e.g., along the lines suggested by Chang (2011).
