Answer:
Feldman reaches the conclusion that most people are honest without receiving an incentive by
studying a counterclaim about morality and arriving at a broad generalization.
Explanation:
A researcher can reach a conclusion that most people are honest after studying a counterclaim about morality. He can then arrive at a broad generalization.
A counterclaim is the opposite of an argument, or simply, the opposing argument. A counterclaim research is one undertaken to establish that the opposite of a research situation prevails. It is a claim made against a situation or an established position in order to rebut the claimed position.
In this instance, Glaucon had taken a position that no man could resist the temptation of evil if he knew his acts could not be witnessed or dictated. For Feldman to contradict this claim, with a conclusion that 87% of the time, a man could resist the temptation of evil even if he knew his acts could not be witnessed or dictated because he had become invisible, it means that he had researched the counterclaim.
They stopped at a better location with grazing for cattle and shops for wagon repairs.
They planned on going to Fort Laramie but decided to stop at Fort Bernard instead (10 miles east of Fort Laramie) because they were warned that Indians were fighting ahead, the grazing for cattle was poor at Fort Laramie, and they could get wagon repairs at Fort Bernard.
