What is the truth in science? Look at science20/the_hammock_physicist/falsifiability_and_the_integrity_of_physics-151714 and then consider my point of view. There is triple truth requirement in science. First the models used must be among the atlas that cover the reality with well understood demarcation lines between different theories. That is math in the theory must be correct. Second the measurement model used with physical model must be consistent and the limitations on measurement model must be respected. You should decide right math with right devices you use for measurement. Understand your devices. Now you have two models physical model and measurement model. But it is not enough. You have to have model for gathering information and making predictions and inference. You need mixed model of experimental results and analysing statistical model, for instance Bayesian inference method. As a result you can have only approximation of the true value you are looking in experiments. This interaction of tree theories is a loop or a proses. Form some argument you can improve the result, the theory and the devices and methods of experiment. The subjective truth is in what you believe you have find. You can be sure, but the others try to confess that you are not right yet. The truth as we understand it may not lie on lose ground. This is our forth model we have to use. The logic is a theory and some of them are incomplete and we have some unknown reason to believe to unprovable truths. Science want to limit it methods to provable logics that are independently about the observer proved. That is a challenge.
