In Defense of Unrealistic Assumptions*
s the common and crucial elements from the mass of complex and detailed circumstances surrounding the phenomena to be explained and permits valid prediction on the basis of them alone.” 8 This is why assumptions of a theory must be unrealistic, and further, the more unrealistic the assumption set the better, ceteris paribus. In an attempt to increase the fruitfulness of the theory, one must red...
متن کاملUnrealistic assumptions invalidate extinction estimates.
Hubbell et al. (1) estimated the number of Amazonian tree species threatened with extinction due to habitat loss predicted under 2 development scenarios for the Brazilian Amazon (2). Unfortunately, their analysis suffers from several critical weaknesses that render the results suspect, if not meaningless, for conservation. Hubbell et al. (1) model species ranges as circles or ellipses, the area...
متن کاملUnifying Approaches and Removing Unrealistic Assumptions in Shape from Shading: Mathematics Can Help
This article proposes a solution of the Lambertian Shape From Shading (SFS) problem by designing a new mathematical framework based on the notion of viscosity solutions. The power of our approach is twofolds: 1) it defines a notion of weak solutions (in the viscosity sense) which does not necessarily require boundary data. Note that, in the previous SFS work of Rouy et al. [23, 15], Falcone et ...

متن کاملIn Defense of Functional Independence: Violations of Assumptions Underlying the Process-Dissociation Procedure?
T. Curron and D. L. Hintzman (1995) claim to have shown that the independence assumption underlying the process-dissociation procedure (L. L. Jacoby, 1991) is not justified. They argued that correlations between processes at the level of items can result in an underestimation of automatic processes large enough to produce artifactual dissociations between process estimates. In contrast, the aut...
