Ruling out rival hypotheses, Findings consistent with several hypotheses
require additional research to eliminate these hypotheses. More five principles
of critical thinking are: (1.) Correlation vs. Causation, the fact that two
things are associated with each other doesn’t mean that one causes the other.
(2.) Replicability, a finding must be capable of being duplicated by
independent researchers following the same recipe. (3.) Occam’s Razor,
if two hypotheses explain a phenomenon equally well, we should generally select
the simpler one. (4.) Falsifiability, claims
must be capable of being disproved. (5.) Extraordinary Claims, the more a
claim contradicts what we already know, the more persuasive the evidence must
be before we should accept it.
