Experimentation and Improvisation

Whitehead opposes "skill" and "imaginative zest".  So, it is perhaps because he conceives that the former can "stifle" the latter that he accuses Bacon of a lack of imagination, and experimenters as "cooking the facts for the sake of exemplifying the law". He also calls the attempt to combine the two a "paradox".  But, if so, then Jazz is 'paradoxical', which does not seem to inhibit it from existing, or skill of players from being imaginative, i. e. improvisational.  Rather, it evinces that Experimentation is essentially Improvisation, which, in some contexts,  can be a means to a worthy deliberate exemplification of a law, e. g. curing diseases.  So, Whitehead's judgements about Experimentalism may be based on a false dichotomy.
