In this paper, we attempted to introduce the experimental method of historical reasoning for innovation. For too long, the term innovation has been used to express desires, beliefs and hopes. However, the scientific meaning of the term innovation has never been updated since Joseph Schumpeter [1883–1950], and the term still carries Victorian memories and impressions. If this outdated image is the cause of division, loss, and failures, we must first update the image of society itself by collecting, organising, and combining information of our age, as Adam Smith [1723–1790] once did. Then, as David Hume [1711-1776] suggested, we no more to be able to continue chimerical reasonings, moving on to discussions founded on history and experiences.
