Primes¶
- Assumption
- In empirical science, background theory and instrument calibration are auxiliary assumptions of any experiment, and the holistic character of testing means a failed test can indict the auxiliaries rather than the hypothesis.
This sourceArgues that an experimental test confronts a hypothesis only together with its auxiliary assumptions, so a failed test may indict the auxiliaries (the Duhem thesis).

- Unfalsifiability
- This is the standard Duhem–Quine point, and it means some revision of auxiliaries is always logically available and frequently correct.
This sourceArgues that an experiment can never condemn an isolated hypothesis but only the whole theoretical group, so an adverse result licenses rejecting the conjunction without designating which conjunct is at fault; Duhem confined the thesis to physics and Quine later generalised it.

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. Neither this nor any other of the 3 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.
Was it audited? Yes. A second, independent pass read the citation against the article text and recorded a verdict.
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.
