Nobel Prize physicist Richard Feynman describes how, as a young boy, he figured
out how to fix a radio that buzzed for a few minutes after first being turned on. "I realized
that one way it can happen is that the tubes are heating up in the wrong order. Then I said
to myself, 'All right, take the tubes out, and reverse the order completely in the set.' So I
changed the tubes around, stepped to the front of the radio, turned the thing on, and it's
quiet as a lamb: it waits until it heats up, and then plays perfectly -- no noise."
What will be an ideal response?
Causal conclusion by the method of difference. Feynman's evidence for believing
the order of the tubes causes the buzzing is that the buzzing does not occur when the
tube order is not the same.)
