What is clear from this is that the way you want to extend "empirical" to
include reason makes the word "empirical" lose any distinctive value it
might have.

That's silly. The word just means that knowledge is based on experience,
experience that is verifiable. As I've already tried to explain several
times, expanding the basis of empirical experience beyond SENSORY EXPERINCE
does not distort the meaning of this word, it only refers to a different
kind of verifiable experience. Why is the mental experience of mathematics
NOT empirical? To insist that the eye of flesh is the only eye is to be
hopelessly materialistic, no? This is SOM. This is flatland. This is the
limited epistemolgy that the MOQ is meant to overcome, see?
