In my opinion,
A theorist should pay close attention to experimental facts. He should lay greater weight on facts than on the thoughts from his peers. It is the facts that say the last word, and that constitute the objects which he has to be directly faced with. He should not do simply cobbler and tailor type jobs. He must try to figure out what is hidden behind phenomenology. In a sense, the thoughts from his contemporaries are just secondary. So, theorists, please attend meticulously to facts.
Similarly, an experimentalist should listen carefully to speculative views. Because, ignoring these views make him blind to the meanings of his experiments. It is a theory that confers essence upon observations. Without theory, it is futile and pointless to make observations.
Henceforth, a real physicist should intend to be complete.
