The acceptance of Einstein’s theory of relativity has nothing to do with internal consistency or how easy or difficult to explain but rather repeatedly experimental results validating it.

I don't think Dijkstra was claiming that what he was talking about
was a *complete* description of scientific thought, only that the
ability to separate out independent concerns is an important part
of it, and that was something he saw his colleagues failing to do.
