    Sure, if you have a novel result, say from some experiment, you afterwards come up with theories to explain it. This is different from policy decisions though, where you have a situation at hand and need to come up with a way to deal with it.

    In this case:

    There’s an epidemic, we need to contain it
    -> it spreads through viruses expelled be sneezing
    -> use a mask to hinder the spread

    vs

    People tell me to use masks, I don’t like that -> I need a reason to justify not wearing a mask
    -> “I can’t breathe!!”
