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.Could medication, physiology, expectation, or memory affect the account?
- 2.Does the article report the study sample and its major limitations?
- 3.Are publication date, authorship, and editorial review status visible?
- 4.Is a personal belief clearly labeled instead of presented as medical consensus?
- 5.Were witnesses interviewed independently rather than as a group?
