Frådser for et par dage i fede tandlægehistoriske kilder fra 1930erne. Tænk engang, at man i Council on Dental Therapeutics "offical rules" kan finde en passage som man har har lyst til at bruge i forbindelse med vejledning af opgaveskrivende studerende: "The amount and character of the evidence which is required depends on the inherent probability of the claims. No evidence is needed for a self evident claim; very strong evidence is needed when the claim is contrary to the accepted data of science. The acceptability of evidence is determined mainly by its quality. The mere multiplication of inaccurate observations does not render them accurate. The evidence must be furnished in sufficient detail to permit judgement as to the care with which it was gathered and the legitimacy of the deductions. Comparative trials facilitate and are often necessary for such judgment. Observations that are not described with sufficient detail to permit verification are subject to suspicion. The credibility of the data and the justification of the deductions is influenced by the reputation and experience of the investigators, as to disinterestedness, technical ability, and critical sense. Anonymous communications and observations gathered without adequate facilities are usually worthless as evidence."
