“Trust the researchers”: flying in the face of evidence
Abstract:
There are always rival hypotheses to explain away the one that is posited as the most likely to be true. Context and Occam's razor – the principle that among competing hypotheses, the one with the fewest assumptions should be selected – ultimately point to which hypothesis is the most likely to be true.
