Bruno,
I love your closing sentence! I am not a physicist.
Why do you think that philosophers don't use some
anthropocentric mind-work in identifying 'principles'?
Our Earthenlocked thinking *tool* (we call it usually:
the brain) works 'humanly' whether in physics or in
any other mental exercise (philoso[hy included, even
the (pardon me) logic.
We may speculate how to step out (over?) these Earth
bound limitations, but even then we speculate using
our brain in the process.
Allegedly some people don't use their brains, but that
has to be another list <G>
