You aren't saying anything much of interest there.

I am sorry you do not find my dismissal of subjective things as irrelevant and my embrace of the real, objective world to be interesting.
Actually, I'm not sorry, but it's the polite thing to say.

And, you have underlying assumptions like: "experiments performed by different people or in different places or times, or altitudes, can still be said to be a reproduction of the other experiment, despite all of the differences"

If it is conducted in accordance with the rigors of the scientific method, then yes, it qualifies as a reproduction of the evidence. The differences only become relevant if it is proven that those differences would have an effect on the outcome - that's the whole point about introducing new variables. By default, a reproduced experiment will not include new variables.

But as a philosopher with a philosophy degree, this should have been covered in your science classes, and so you should already know this.

A layman, a student and a philosopher are in a boat, back before we knew there were black swans, and low and behold, they see a black swan, a good bit off, swimming along parallel with their boat.

The layman says: "ah, now we know there are black swans"
The student says: "ah, now we know there is *a* black swan"
The philosopher says: "ah, now we know there is one-half of one swan is black"

1) And then the scientist on the shore actually photographs, measures, captures, and dissects the black swan, creating scientific evidence of the phenomena and how it came to exist.

2) The response of the philosopher, in my experience, would actually be "In looking at the black swan, one is faced with a choice: either accept deconstructivist destructuralism or conclude that reality may be used to marginalize the proletariat. The swan is contextualised into a Lacanist obscurity that includes consciousness as a whole. However, Lacan promotes the use of patriarchial libertarianism on a Kantian scale to modify and analyze class. Thus, the black swan is contextualised again into a Batailleist `powerful communication’ that includes reality as a paradox, symbolizing a mythopoetical reality."
