To put these principles into action, here are some questions to ask?
as you evaluate new information:
?1. What claims斷言 are being made? What are their implications含義/暗示?
?2. Are the claims understandable? Do they make logical sense??
Is there another possible explanation? Is it a simpler?
explanation?
?3. What tests (if any) of these claims have been made? What?
was the nature and quality of the tests? Can they be repeated??
Who did the tests? How reliable and trustworthy were the?
investigators? Do they have conflicts of interest? Do their?
findings appear to be objective? Has any other independent?
researcher duplicated the findings?
?4. How good is the evidence? (In general, scientific observations?
provide the highest quality evidence.)
?5. Finally, how much credibility can the claim be given? High,?
medium, low, provisional暫時(shí)的?
