Unexplained does not automatically mean supernatural
Calling an event unexplained describes the limits of the available record. It does not identify a cause. Missing data, rare physiology, memory effects, coincidence, and spiritual interpretations may all remain in consideration.
The most durable writing preserves uncertainty instead of using it as proof. Readers can hold personal beliefs while still asking what was measured, what was inferred, and what information would change the conclusion.
Five checkpoints for this route
- 1.Does the article report the study sample and its major limitations?
- 2.Does a quoted number link to a source that actually supports that number?
- 3.Does the conclusion match what was measured rather than what was merely possible?
- 4.Are changed names, composite details, and confidentiality limits disclosed?
- 5.Are observation and interpretation written as separate statements?
