Talk:Not a proof fallacy

Delete[edit]

This doesn't appear to be a common phrase, and is not very well explained. "If evidence is presented merely to argue that a hypothesis is more likely, it is not legitimate to respond that there is still a possibility that the hypothesis is false." Why the hell not? It is always legitimate to point out that there's a possibility a hypothesis is false, unless it has been proven conclusively. The example is also confusing. Anyway, we already have the concept of proof better covered elsewhere, and should delete this. WěǎšěǐǒǐďWeaselly.jpgMethinks it is a Weasel 05:55, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

I agree. Let's lose this. (although to be fair, we do make up these things sometimes, but this is not even a fallacy.) SophieWilder 08:23, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
