I really cannot fathom the kind of confusion necessary to regard empirical knowledge as "elitist".

I don't particularly like the Second Law of Thermodynamics, but calling it elitist and voting for people who promise to ignore it really wouldn't accomplish much.

I gave you buffalo as an empirical example of private ownership being used to inflate the population of an endangered herd animal.

I agree that empirical trumps theory. We're on the same page there. You seem to be confused what empirical means.
