399. But doesn’t my drawing the
consequences only show that I accept this hypothesis?
you do what you do –
and yes –
you can reconstruct whatever you do –
in terms of a model like –
hypothesis and consequence –
and if that proves useful to you –
so be it
my point is –
there are any number of ways of
interpreting –
anything –
the hypothesis / consequence model –
is just one such approach
and of course –
you always have the option of saying –
‘I don’t know ‘–
that is not adopting any interpretation
it should also be noted –
that even if you draw consequences –
from an hypothesis –
it doesn’t follow –
that you accept the hypothesis –
you may just be interested in –
exploring its consequences
and finally when you say –
you are drawing consequences –
can you be sure –
which hypothesis –
you are drawing –
your consequences from?
