Some explanations are not as good as other explanations.
Answer the following statement true (T) or false (F)
True
Explanations vary in quality. Some explanations simply are not true. ("The reason I don't have my homework is because my dog ate it.") Some explanations are true, but uninformative. ("The reason I am an unmarried male is that I am a bachelor.") Some explanations may be informative and true but less informative than some other explanations. (Compare "The reason I do not have a job is that the economy went bad" and the more informative "The reason I do not have a job is that my employer has gone bankrupt because her bank raised her interest rates due to the collapse of J.P. Morgan.")
