What is hypothetico-deductivism (H-D)?


A method where scientists create a hypothesis, deduce a
prediction, test it, and then evaluate the result.

What happens when an H-D prediction succeeds?


The result provides some support for the hypothesis, but it
does not prove that the hypothesis is true.


What happens when an H-D prediction fails?


The failed prediction appears to count against or disprove the
hypothesis.
