There is no evidence for X

3•cadabrabra•1h ago
Is not the same as “There is evidence of no X.”

Very important distinction.

Comments

pfdietz•1h ago
And yet, people confuse the two.

"There is no evidence for life elsewhere in the universe."

"So you believe we're alone in the universe?"

cadabrabra•1h ago
It’s a common confusion, often subconsciously deployed in the context of trying to cope with the possibility of something undesirable turning out to be true.
pfdietz•1h ago
It's also important to distinguish "I don't believe X" from "I believe not-X".

English is poorly suited to expressing this distinction.

buttstuff69420•1h ago
No. What happened here is you confused semantics for logic.
cope123•1h ago
Perfectly said
dekhn•1h ago
"Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence"
cadabrabra•1h ago
Correct
linasj•1h ago
Absence of evidence after you've spent a lot of effort looking for evidence IS evidence of no X.

After doing a lot of research into homeopathy we are now very confident that it does not work and cannot work.

cadabrabra•53m ago
If we know that it cannot work, then we have evidence of no X, where X is the possibility of homeopathy working.
Redster•1h ago
Agreed.

It is also often a very bold claim to say "There is *no* evidence for X." The cases where you can truly say that are rare compared to how easily people (esp. non-experts) will say it. More often, it's more accurate to say, "I don't believe the arguments for X or evidence of X."

buttstuff69420•1h ago
How do I downvote this? You went to high school and learned the definition of a null hypothesis?
cadabrabra•55m ago
Huh?
