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.Was the account recorded close to the event or reconstructed much later?
- 2.Does the article avoid replacing professional care with an inspirational story?
- 3.Would the wording still be accurate if the preferred explanation were wrong?
- 4.Does a quoted number link to a source that actually supports that number?
- 5.Does the conclusion match what was measured rather than what was merely possible?
