 Rowbottom (2015) argues against RP and EP that scientific progress is possible in the absence of increasing verisimilitude. He asks us to imagine that the scientists in a specific area of physics have found the maximally truthlike theory C*. Yet this general true theory could be used for further predictions and applications. This is indeed the case if we do not make the idealized assumption that the scientists know all the logical consequences of their theories. Then the explanations and predictions from C* constitute new cognitive problems. Moreover, in Rowbottom’s thought experiment further progress is possible by expanding the conceptual framework in order to consider as a target a deeper truth than C* (Niiniluoto 2017).
