Chapter 1, Problem 38UTC
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The statement given by Sherlock Holmes should be explained: “I have no data yet. It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead to suits facts”.
Concept Introduction:
- A theory is an explanation with proofs and evidences which is obtained through the scientific method and repeatedly tested and verified through experimentation and observation.
