Consistency
- One fatal flaw in a theory is that it is inconsistent.
- This is logically inconsistent.
- If you're talking to someone about the single bullet theory,
you might be able to show logical inconsistency.
- If you're thinking about a theory, and it seems inconsistent,
you better figure out if it is or not.
- It is important to show that theories are wrong.
- If it can be shown that a theory is inconsistent, this is
an important result.
- Theories support the entire scientific community. The
advancement and development of theories is a shared resource
of unequal importance.
- They're a big portion (perhaps the largest portion) of collective
human knowledge.
