To a plebian like me I have no idea what you are trying to say. If I build an electron microscope and peer at the structure of atoms in a solid, the observations remains regardless of what philosophical action there is: that there are spheres apparently picometers in size that are packed like oranges on a supermarket stand to form table salt.In the end, if science is to provide objective content, it's ultimately a philosophical action that provides context. While I agree that philosophies that can't be measured and are ultimately abstract, are nothing but thought stroking. If you base your philosophy on science, then you're able to apply context to that science.
We can endlessly debate about what that means - that is why philosophy will never help me advance my understanding of table salt. But we now have clear progress: we understand that salt is not just a little cube (or a big one) that melts in water, but it is composed of apparently indivisible tiny spheres! Our understanding has been refined.
