Context: Scientists hold that the only things that can be truly known about the world are those that we can sense and record and so prove . Science aims to produce truth - claims of the sort , " Under X conditions , Y will occur " . Such claims have an incredible plausibility because they can be repeated . The metaphysicians never managed to create anything of this sort ; nothing they ever said could be proved in the real world .

Question: What would people say about scientists if they could not prove any of their theories ?
Options:
0. They would say that theories are not true and that the scientists have done a poor job
1. They will tell the scientists to be more like meta - physicians because meta - physicians provide more interesting theories
2. They would accept what the scientists say as true because scientists tend to be right about things
3. They would assume the scientists are accurate because scientists are some of the smartest people
