It will be shown that de Regt and Dieks Criterion for the Intelligibility of a Theory (CIT), which stipulates that the appropriate combination of scientists skills and intelligibility-enhancing theoretical virtues is a condition for scientific understanding, is too strong. On the basis of this case-study, it will be shown that scientists can understand each others positions qualitatively and quantitatively, despite their endorsement of different worldviews and despite their convictions as what counts as a proper explanation.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
