I agree that in this academic culture war, each side may dismiss the other, so there are two ways of being "duped": you can miss the big picture (philosophical, synthetic understanding) or the technical details (the scientifically established facts).

Most philosophers are naturalists, so they accept what they regard as the upshot of scientific theories. They just build on simplified statements of the details. Philosophical "ideas," then, would be conjectures drawn from naturalism.

The notion that all ideas should be tested as hypotheses would be scientistic, the presumption being that all ideas should function as scientific ones. There may be different kinds of ideas, though, with different functions.

I've gone ahead and written that article. It will be coming out in a week or two.
