Through stimulation of the reflection process, limiting thoughts can be replaced by more constructive (self) beliefs and expectations about the transition period probably can be modified to match reality.
So, for instance, talk of observability might commit the constructive empiricist to belief in the existence of possible worlds, a commitment that an empiricist would prefer not to make.
See Section 3.4 below for a discussion of the worry that the constructive empiricist's belief in the empirical adequacy of her accepted theories thereby extends beyond what a bona fide empiricist ought to believe.
