Until such time as
  • You offer a coherent explanation of how your favorite metaphysic is different.
  • You offer at least one hypothesis on how we might tell them apart.
  • You cough up some evidence for the hypothesis.
Until then, why should a scientist care when he doesn't even know how to incorporate the ... the extra thing? Surely you don't want him to be content with a god-of-the-gaps explanation.
