Misconceptions: a theory, explains just one event , or is just an educated guess , no, theories are always based on averages and probability, always try to confirm but also disconfirm the theory. If you cannot disconfirm evidence, you are on the right track. If you stick with something that has evidence that disconfirms it, that"s not the best route or best theory. How come he didn"t study and got a 90! just because you believe you studied doesn"t mean you studied well. Maybe your study strategy is wrong, maybe you are just reading the textbook, the exam isn"t the textbook! Good mind just answers, doesn"t realize it"s the wrong response.
