False equivalence? Research about things which happened in the past are empirical, and it matters little who discovered them. Predictions about future events are not empirical, since they have not happened.

Extrapolations from data measured in the present to assume the state of the past is not empirical in the same way as actively measuring the state of the past empirically.
