Re: Karl Popper/False positives...



Jack,
 
So, what Karl Popper was saying was that there's no such thing as a "false negative", right? There are false positives, but not false negatives? Hmmm..... I'm not sure I agree with that. I'll have to give it some thought and figure out why my alarms go off at that idea.

I don't recall him using "sometimes". My recollection is that "negate
and prove that" is the only way to "prove" anything, according to Popper.
