A careful way to compare competing explanations
Begin by listing explanations without ranking them by preference. Ask what each explanation predicts, which observations it accounts for, and what evidence would count against it. This reduces the temptation to treat mystery as confirmation.
A good comparison also allows multiple factors to operate together. Physiology, medication, expectation, memory reconstruction, culture, and spiritual meaning do not always form mutually exclusive categories.
Five checkpoints for this route
- 1.Are observation and interpretation written as separate statements?
- 2.Are alternative explanations described fairly and specifically?
- 3.Were witnesses interviewed independently rather than as a group?
- 4.Can the central claim be traced to an original study, record, or named source?
- 5.Does the article avoid replacing professional care with an inspirational story?
