"Why then do a few crabbed earth scientists refuse to
accept some or all of the tenets of the 'new global tectonics'?
. . Strictly speaking, then, we do not have a scientific
hypothesis, but rather a pragmatic model, reshaped
to include each new observation . . Obviously, this kind
of model is not testable in any rigorous scientific sense."—
*John C. Maxwell, "The New Global Tectonics," in
Geotimes, January 1973, p. 31.
