Description, Interpretation, Space-Time

Some Physicists do not seem to consider, perhaps ironically, that Physics is not a description of reality, but an interpretation of it, i. e. is itself a Frame of Reference.  Now, according to one of the pioneering versions of the latter, Kant's, Space and Time are part of the Frame, not parts of its object, and, furthermore, are distinct from one another.  Thus, in the absence of a compelling argument that Physics is indeed descriptive, any belief that 'Space-Time' is the intersection in reality of Space and Time, may be not an expression of the perception of 'a Genius', but the product of profound confusion.
