Ideas need to be tested, and not merely by argument and debate.

Sir Robert Watson-Watt's `` rebuttal '' of Sir Charles Snow's Godkin Lectures is marred throughout by too forceful a desire to defend Lindemann and apparently himself from Sir Charles' supposed falsehoods while stating those `` falsehoods '' in an unclear incoherent argument.

The hypostatization of the secret nonetheless guarantees that the division of analytical and synthetic philosophies shall not be overcome by even the most persuasive argument ; ;

Obviously, a satisfactory answer to the third question is imperative, if the argument is to get under way at all, for if there is any possibility of doubt whether the patient's tactual sensitivity had been impaired by the occipital lesion, any findings whatsoever in regard to the first question become completely ambiguous and fail altogether, of course, as evidence to establish the desired conclusion.

If the argument is accepted as essentially sound up to this point, it remains for us to consider whether the patient's difficulties in orienting himself spatially and in locating objects in space with the sense of touch can be explained by his defective visual condition.

Even a hasty reader will easily find in it numerous blind spots, errors of fact and argument, important exclusions, areas of ignorance and prejudice, undue emphases on trivia, examples of broad positions supported by flimsy evidence, and the like.

More often, though, he is so accustomed to submitting to authority on the job without argument that he lives by the same rule at home.

In such a case the defendant should serve as a clear example and not have to be tied to the issue by argument.

Added to the argument was the fact that while she might have tasted the coffee if it had been still hot, she might even have drunk some of it, she wouldn't have taken enough to kill her, for she would have been warned by its taste.

Some examples of reversible error would be erroneously instructing the jury on the law applicable to the case, permitting seriously improper argument by an attorney, admitting or excluding evidence improperly, acting outside the court's jurisdiction, injecting bias into the proceeding or appearing to do so, juror misconduct, etc.

* Oral argument, in US law, a spoken presentation to a judge or appellate court by a lawyer ( or parties when representing themselves ) of the legal reasons why they should prevail

In structure, Johnson points out the same central theme, that of cannibalism and the eating of babies as well as the same final argument, that " human depravity is such that men will attempt to justify their own cruelty by accusing their victims of being lower than human.

He reminds readers that " there is a gap between the narrator ’ s meaning and the text ’ s, and that a moral-political argument is being carried out by means of parody ".

Gurevich: "... Turing's informal argument in favor of his thesis justifies a stronger thesis: every algorithm can be simulated by a Turing machine ... according to Savage, an algorithm is a computational process defined by a Turing machine ".

Paneloux's argument is based on the theology of St. Augustine, on which he is an expert, and it is accepted as irrefutable by many of the townspeople, including the magistrate, Othon.

The Bohr model for a short time could be seen as a classical model with an additional constraint provided by the ' wavelength ' argument.

The cost argument advanced by ACSI and others prevailed in keeping religious institutions from being labeled as " public accommodations ", and thus churches were permitted to remain inaccessible if they choose.

The argument of the Enquiry proceeds by a series of incremental steps, separated into chapters which logically succeed one another.

C. S. Lewis supported this argument and challenged the evolutionary naturalistic view of morality – that morality evolved and is a human construct – by arguing that without objective moral truths, moral scepticism would set in, leading to moral anarchy.

Parkinson challenges the argument from moral objectivity by arguing that, for the argument to be successful, it must be shown that morality is objective and commanded by God, rather than just a human invention.

He shows how a satisfying argument for the validity of experience can be based neither on demonstration ( since " it implies no contradiction that the course of nature may change ") nor experience ( since that would be a circular argument ).

Therefore, c divides the initial remainder r < sub > 0 </ sub >, since r < sub > 0 </ sub > = a − q < sub > 0 </ sub > b = mc − q < sub > 0 </ sub > nc = ( m − q < sub > 0 </ sub > n ) c. An analogous argument shows that c also divides the subsequent remainders r < sub > 1 </ sub >, r < sub > 2 </ sub >, etc.

In responding to skepticism, Hilary Putnam ( 1982 ) claims that semantic externalism yields " an argument we can give that shows we are not brains in a vat ( BIV ).

If A attempts to support his position with an argument that shows that the law ought to allow him to do the thing in question, then he is guilty of ignoratio elenchi.

Through this model, Fields shows the typical theoretical argument to be ambiguous and says " the predictions derived from the textbook model definitely do not carry over to the two-sector case.

And yet Cantor's diagonal argument shows that real numbers have higher cardinality.

If S contains two elements that are not pairwise orthogonal ( in particular, the set of all quantum states includes such pairs ) then an argument like that given above shows that the answer is no.

Thus again the Paradox shows omniscience to be a self-refuting argument as an attribute or property of such a proposed omniscient entity.

This argument shows that more generally, any irreducible factor of P can be supposed to have integer coefficients, and leading and constant coefficients dividing the corresponding coefficients of P.

In the final section of " Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God ," Edwards shows his theological argument throughout scripture and biblical history.

The best known example of an uncountable set is the set R of all real numbers ; Cantor's diagonal argument shows that this set is uncountable.

In its later years, as part of the network's desire to maintain its own unique identity with its own unique shows, UPN had a policy of " not picking up other networks ' scraps ", which was a strong argument when fan pressure was generated in 2004 for them to pick up Angel, the spin-off of Buffy the Vampire Slayer which had been dropped from The WB.

However, the argument is non-constructive: it only shows the existence of a winning strategy, without describing it explicitly.

A similar argument shows that in two dimensions

The same argument shows why at least one of infinitely many monkeys will produce a text as quickly as it would be produced by a perfectly accurate human typist copying it from the original.

This argument continues, although the preponderance of evidence shows a positive association between social capital and the internet.

" American sociologist James Q. Wilson encapsulated this argument as the Broken Window Theory, which asserts that relatively minor problems left unattended ( such as litter, graffiti, or public urination by homeless individuals ) send a subliminal message that disorder in general is being tolerated, and as a result, more serious crimes will end up being committed ( the analogy being that a broken window left unrepaired shows an image of general dilapidation ).

To constructivists, the argument shows no more than that there is no bijection between the natural numbers and T. It does not rule out the possibility that the latter are subcountable.

The diagonal argument shows that the set of real numbers is " bigger " than the set of natural numbers ( and therefore, the integers and rationals as well ).

The same sort of argument as before shows that this is a subspace too.

For non-linear least squares systems a similar argument shows that the normal equations should be modified as follows.

Introducing this correction effectively cancels out the " Bergsland & Vogt " argument, since a thorough analysis of the Riksmal data shows that its basic wordlist includes about 15 – 16 borrowings from other Germanic languages ( mostly Danish ) – exclusion of these elements from the calculations brings the rate down to the expected rate of 5 – 6 " native " replacements per millennium ;

In graphs in which all vertices have odd degree, an argument related to the handshaking lemma shows that the number of Hamiltonian cycles through any fixed edge is always even, so if one Hamiltonian cycle is given, then a second one must also exist.
