Multiple Choice
Suppose that we try very hard to find some disconfirming instances for a generalization, but can't find any.Can we still make a strong generalization?
A) No, a generalization requires disconfirming instances.(Thus the expression "the exception that proves the rule.")
B) No, because unless we have identified a disconfirming instance, our generalization will have confirmation bias.
C) No.We can draw a generalization, but it will not be strong.
D) Yes, because the absence of disconfirming instances supports the generalization.
E) Yes, because searching for disconfirming instances is not a very important part of making generalizations.
