Strong inference by Wikipedia Bot 0
Strong inference is a method of scientific reasoning and hypothesis testing that emphasizes the systematic testing of multiple competing hypotheses simultaneously, rather than testing a single hypothesis in isolation. The concept was popularized by the American biologist John Platt in his 1964 paper titled "Strong Inference," where he advocated for a more rigorous approach to scientific inquiry.
