Kelly's theory wasn't equipped to make predictions about the brain systems that underlie construct systems. What would he make of this failing?
A) He would definitely get defensive and suggest that his theory is still right, because it wasn't meant to be a biological theory.
B) He would admit that the biological findings are outside of his range of convenience and that the theory itself should either be improved or abandoned.
C) He would admit that his theory is absolutely wrong in its predictions and that it should be abandoned immediately.
D) He would say that his theory is still absolutely right because some of its predictions are true.
