Abstract

In Chap. 10, I noted that there was insufficient evidence to support one of my claims. I also noted that evidence from a famous scientific experiment should be available to support the argument, but it is not; the evidence is missing. This chapter examines what you can do in general if the expected evidence does not materialise, and recovers the situation for the example.
