That’s easy, if you have a framework of knowledge around things like physics or chemistry or biology(add any domain here), one could predict outcomes of hypothetical use cases with considerable accuracy. Unless you lump all domain knowledge into “history” because it has to have happened in the past…

Do you think chemistry or biology knowedge was given to humans by the gods or the ancient aliens and not based on a history of practical knowedge, experiments and research?

Thats why I added the last sentence. But for the purpose of debate, it is reasonable to distinguish domains like physics from history. It is one thing to study how something was discovered, and another to understand the parameters around an event so that you can predict what might happen.
