Thread Name: We cannot have an opinion
Subject: RE: We cannot have an opinion
We use the word conclusion in science at the end of an investigative process, an experiment for example, in order to weigh the probability of what may have been demonstrated. Note, however, that in experiments we do not set out to demonstrate, but to investigate. To obtain more evidence. There is nothing final about a conclusion. It's a statement of where we've got to so far.
