Answer 1

Most of the observations are laden with theory and that happens to be a fact. In the conversation that has been listed above it can be observed that T notices or observes everything from a rather fresh perspective which is somewhat divorced from any established theory whereas K utilises the many jargons and theories that mire down his observations and render them as fitting of the theory proposed or established.

Most observations, in various fields, are analysed from the focal point of a theory.
