There's an extent to which elaborate, ornate, bespoke knowledge (the kind social scientists love) is more likely to be wrong. So simplistic thinking has its virtues. But to plug and chug is, fundamentally, to bracket away your thinking about everything you plug values into.

rebuttal: The raw interpretation of "plug and chug" is to literally fuck around and find out. Theres nothing "bracketed" about the thinking, just a limit to what can feasibly be pluged in or chugged out.
Experimental method still teaches you nothing of the semantics of logic or mathematics, which is fundamental to the creation of new logic or mathematics. Nobody in CS who plugs and chugs knows wtf a monad is, for example. Also contingent: could be as inelegant as brute force

But isnt the point that those who are simply dealing in the theoretical are missing the vital tactile grasp on how that logic plays out in reality. Its fine to elegantly calculate out your course, but at some point you need to brute force you way down that path.

equations can only tell you what should be, to find out what "is" you have to put it to use.
