1.This theory was pretty interesting to read about. I have an example that I think is a good one. PS1 that I would like to use is our all squirrels really all brown as I saw a lot of squirrels out today that seemed to be all brown. The TT1 would be all squirrels are indeed brown. EE1 would be me seeing a pink squirrel which proves my theory wrong. PS2 would now be how many pink squirrels are there or was this just something that was extremely random and are the majority of squirrels brown or is it more of a split. We learned more information about squirrels which leads to us developing new ideas. Here is one that happened to me today.
