      Couldn't you say fields and charges "explain" the observation of magnetism? Couldn't you say the relativity of space and time "explain" the constancy of light? You could define magnetism as the pure observation itself, but isn't the point of science the attempt to look beyond that and seek hidden relationships with other seemingly separate observations and explain them in terms of better pictures and ideas for whats actually going on? Sure, all we have to work with is what we experience, but does that really devalue the explanatory power of science?
