Why do diagnostic arguments reach successful conclusions? Choose one answer.
It is because any piece of central trace data brought to bear on the most serious rival conclusions, if it has any effect at all, will increase the plausibility of some rivals while diminishing the plausibility of others. Provided we have consulted enough central trace data, our investigation will have reached a point at which only one serious rival is remaining.
It is because any piece of nontrace data brought to bear on the most serious rival conclusions. If it has any effect at all, it will increase the plausibility of all serious rivals equally. Provided we have consulted enough nontrace data, our investigation will have reached a point at which several serious rivals are too compelling to resist.
It is because any piece of peripheral trace data brought to bear on the most serious rival conclusions, if it has any effect at all, will increase the plausibility of some rivals while diminishing the plausibility of others. Provided we have consulted enough peripheral trace data, our investigation will have reached a point at which only one serious rival is remaining.
It is because any piece of nontrace data brought to bear on the most serious rival conclusions, if it has any effect at all, enough nontrace data, our investigation will have reached a point at which only one serious rival is remaining.
