[Paraphrasing Felix Bloch speaking to Heisenberg]...space was simply the field of linear operations.
[Heisenberg] Nonsense, space is blue and birds fly through it.
[Bloch, explaining] What he meant was that it was dangerous for a physicist to describe Nature in terms of idealised abstractions too far removed from the evidence of actual observation.
Tell it! Yay Heisenberg!
