Yet scientists prefer to operate at the smaller level because they are not good at the largest of levels.

They prefer to model a Big Bang that is based on data from the Large Hadron Collider than to model the materialization process based on the structures we witness in the material universe. They are myopic and have not been trained in structural thinking.

Declare what physicists are saying ("we live in a result" is my example) and then declare with a straight face ("we cannot know whether there was a prior reality" is my example).

They say Yes at the small level and they say No at the larger level.
