In the politics thread, there was a link to a story of one state swapping dates for daily infections, making the numbers look better....three different times.
Replies indicated this was evidence it was on purpose.
This is a concept in general that has seemed flawed to me the many times it comes up...
X is some event (getting it wrong three times)
Y is the theory for the reason of X (on purpose)
X is implied to be the evidence for Y (it was on purpose because it was done three times).
Can an event be evidence for the explanation? Or does the explanation of an event require evidence outside of X?
