Primes¶
- Comparative Method
- Lieberson's Making It Count (1985) emphasized the inferential limits: with three cases, only three hypotheses can be directly tested against the comparative variation; with ten cases, perhaps thirty; the underdetermination problem never fully dissolves and requires vigilant sensitivity analysis and mechanism-tracing to address.
This sourceSystematic analysis of small-N inferential limits in comparative method (the three-case problem; hypothesis underdetermination by observations) — supports the Manages-Complexity claim on inferential limits.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
