Theory of Constructed Physical Descriptions

A framework arguing that physical descriptions of the world—even those based on rigorous measurement and mathematics—are constructed, at least partially, by human choices of concepts, units, models, and interpretations. There are potentially many ways to describe the same physical system, each equally accurate but differing in what they highlight and what they ignore. The theory does not deny that the physical world exists independently; it denies that any single description is simply “the way things are.” It opens the door to pluralism in physics and other natural sciences, and it explains why different historical or cultural contexts produce different physical theories that are not necessarily reducible to each other.
Example: “The theory of constructed physical descriptions showed that whether a phenomenon is described as a wave or a particle depends on the experimental setup and the concepts the physicist chooses to use—both descriptions are constructed, both are accurate.”

Description 

On YouTube, it's something that we use to give information about our videos that make anything that isn't too self explanatory a whole lot more clear, or to present the video as more interesting. Countless YouTubers ignore these often resulting in the posting of a stupid comment or question that's unnecessary because it was likely to be answered in the *drumroll please...* description!

These comments tend to become so sad that users need to include 20 FAQs in their descriptions because the idiots won't shut the hell up.

Read the comments to any video posted by GuitarHeroPhenom and you'll understand. They're also enough to keep someone entertained for a while, as the stupidity is legendary.
A good description:
