Route
01 · Pattern
[X] suggests that [Y], but it doesn't prove it.
Start with calibrated evidence: let an observation support a hypothesis without turning it into proof.
Open canonical object02 · Contrast
X suggests Y vs X fits Y but could also mean Z
Separate weak proof claims from the different job of keeping a concrete alternative explanation visible.
Open canonical object03 · Choice drill
A missing record fits a replication failure, but it could also mean that the source never created the record. Keep both interpretations visible.
Choose the frame when one observation genuinely supports two specific interpretations.
Open canonical object04 · Contrast
Most likely explanation vs We cannot rule out X
Now calibrate rank: leading explanation is much stronger than merely not eliminated.
Open canonical object05 · Choice drill
A timing issue is still compatible with the evidence, but other explanations currently look stronger. Keep timing in consideration without ranking it as likely.
Practise keeping a hypothesis alive without accidentally calling it likely.
