Successful theories typically both accommodate and predict. Most people, however, are more impressed by predictions than by accommodations. When Mendeleev produced a theory of the periodic table that accounted for all sixty [really sixty-two] known elements, the scientific community was only mildly impressed. When he went on to use his theory to predict the existence of two unknown elements that were then independently detected, the Royal Society awarded him its Davy Medal, . , Sixty accommodations paled next to two predictions, (Lipton, 1991, p, 134)... 

In addition, ft is by no means cleer that successful predictions were in bcl so decisive in the acceptance of the periodic tabic by the sciunllfic community in Mmddecv s era. For example, the Davy medal, which predates the Nobel Prize as the highest accolade in chords-try was jointly awarded to Mendeleev and Julius Lothar Meyer his leading compellor, who dkt not make aery predictions. Indeed, there is not even a mention of Mendeleev s predictions in the published speech that accompanied the joint award of the Davy prize. It therefore scons dial this prize was awarded for the manner in which the...
