Evidenced-Based Reasoning

Generalization of a Scientific Method

• What can/do we observe?

• What can/do we learn from these observations?

• How sure are we that we are "right"?

• Why should we care?

"A habit of basing convictions upon evidence, and of giving to them only that degree or certainty which the evidence warrants, would, if it became general, cure most of the ills from which the world suffers."

            -- Bertrand Russell
