Pursuing rigorous testability
When we make an empirical claim/hypothesis about the nature of the language faculty, we should present it, in principle, with a design of (a) experiment(s) by following which we/one can test whether it makes (a) correct prediction(s).

And that is exactly the goal of my forthcoming book Language Faculty Science.
