That would be the logical-positivists? I thought that species went extinct..

If I understand it correctly, their argument was that math is only a
set of symbols and no purely mathematical statement can be proved or
disproved in an experiment, thus math has no empirical content and is
merely a language like any other..

That's another tough argument to counter without resorting to intuition..
