Linguistics is more of a technology than a science. One of the utilities is to make it easier to learn and understand natural languages.

Linguistics is more like mathematics than science.

Correct. It's why chomsky and his cronies are disgusting subhumans and everyone this side of science reviles them. Except it's worse than the average pseudoscience in that everything it puts out is useless in the true sense (i.e. we don't even learn something new from it or anything).

Create data to support hypothesis? I mean a hypothesis doesn't come out of an intellectual void right?

A hypothesis is supposed to be verified, you're not supposed to make up some bullshit that's not real in order to justify your crap hypothesis.

I'm not sure what you're talking about. "Verifying" something in science can be a tall order if its propositions are aimed at universality.
