evidential

Firstly, because it's so hard to do experiments whose results you can trust, the evidential basis for the theory is weaker.

The evidential impact of a fixed experimental method, producing the same data, depends on the researcher's private thoughts?

B) Empirical/physical science doesn't deal with conclusive proof from axioms, anyway: it deals mainly in probability and evidential falsification.

When not performing investigatory work, the bag should be locked in a dedicated place for evidential material.

Ridicule is not what he's appealing to, rather, the basic evidential principle that absence of evidence is evidence of absence.

He's answering the flowery anecdotal part of the essay as if it's a serious evidential point?

Court penalties for refusing an evidential test are the same as being above the prescribed limit.

The difference in practical results is why there's a difference in the evidential standards used.

Regulators apply a larger body of vaguer rules, that they can change themselves and where usual presumptions-of-innocence or evidential standards don't apply.

The descriptions aren't really based on experimental results, or really strongly evidential; they're stories that happen to explain some of the evidence.

The numbers they quote summarize the evidential content of the RCTs.

An idea so tenuous should need evidential support, much less handwaving.

He said that "they seem to have pretty good evidential support", and that russian study was used only as an example.

You put a "maybe" in front of the only thing that has a strong evidential base a d which is recommended by WHO and a bunch of national health advice bodies?

I think the problem here is that the predictive value of the "pretty good evidential" support and success in a future (acceptable to the FDA) clinical trial isn't as high as you might think.

> When formulated using Bayesian networks, two standard decision algorithms (Evidential Decision Theory and Causal Decision Theory) can be shown to fail systematically when faced with aspects of the prisoner’s dilemma and so-called “Newcomblike” problems.
