What is the general principle of reaction chemistry?

Is it justifying observed reactions theoritically or

Predicting the mechanism of reaction in theory and matching with the experimental reaction....

For instance...reaction of flourine with water

One way to work this out is by analysing the bonds and intermediates theoritically to find d products and then matching with the one that occurs in experiment

Other is to carry out d reaction practically and analyze the products and thereafter justifying why the reaction takes place that way

Why does it have to be either or?

 

Surely a good chemist (or any other scientist) will employ any and all valid methods appropriately, comparing the results and perhaps even developing new methods as a result?
