Document Summary
The belief that we see the world exactly as it is. Not all common sense is wrong - hypothesis generation. Science is not a body of knowledge. A theory: explains just one event or is just an educated guess . Theories may have scientific proof to back it up through tests and experiments. Set of claims that seem scientific but lack defenses from confirmation bias and belief perseverance that characterize science. Tendency to seek evidence that supports our hypothesis. Tendency to stick to our initial beliefs even when the evidence is contradictory. This one person did our thing and never had a symptom again. Punching yourself in the guts will increase memory. 1000 studies all conducted by us showed the same results no you can"t see them.
