Adequate theory refers to a theoretical framework that sufficiently explains and predicts phenomena within a specific context or discipline. It captures essential variables and relationships, allowing for meaningful interpretations and applications. An adequate theory should also be testable and adaptable, accommodating new evidence while remaining relevant to the questions it seeks to address. In essence, it balances simplicity with comprehensiveness, providing a reliable foundation for understanding complex systems.
Pragmatic adequacy refers to the ability of a theory or model to effectively explain and predict real-world phenomena or events. A theory is considered pragmatically adequate if it helps us understand and make sense of empirical data and observations. It emphasizes the practical applicability and usefulness of a theory in addressing real-world problems or situations.
Most people will avoid work because they do not like it and must be threatened or persuaded to put forth adequate effort. People have little ambition and do not want responsibility.
Empirical adequacy refers to the extent to which a scientific theory or model accurately accounts for and explains the observed empirical data and phenomena. It involves testing the theory against empirical evidence and observations to determine its validity and usefulness in describing the real world. Empirical adequacy is a key criterion for evaluating the scientific credibility of a theory.
For many applications, the Particle Theory is an adequate working model. It is known to no longer be apply in many circumstances. So pragmatism wins the day.Similarly, 25/8 is an adequate approximation of Pi for most 'back of the envelope' calculations, even though it is known to be inexact.

They believed in a universe with the Earth at the centre because the scriptures said that. At the start the Earth was the universe, and the sky was only a part of it. They had no reason to disbelieve the geocentric theory until adequate proof came that the Sun is at the centre, after Kepler's work on planetary observations and Newton's theoretical discoveries.
