Illogical. If it is particularly true in metaphysics and ontology then 
that suggests that in some fields other fields of philosophy it is not 
*true*.

If fact some philosophical questions and problems are empirically 
resolvable eg thousands of years ago philosophers debated whether the 
world was round. 

I would say that ultimately *all* science is a branch of philosophy.

I would dispute both. When Einstein first came up with this theories 
physicist, mathematicians and philosophers rushed into the debate.
