 Yet another way to enrich naïve HD is to combine it with eliminativism. According to this view, the naïve HD clause for confirmation is too weak because there must have been a low (enough) objective chance of getting the outcome \(e\) (favorable to \(h\)) if \(h\) was false, so that few possibilities exist that \(e\) may have occurred for some reason other than the truth of \(h\). Briefly put, the occurrence of \(e\) must be such that most alternatives to \(h\) can be safely ruled out. The founding figure of eliminativism is Francis Bacon (1561–1626). John Stuart Mill (1843/1872) is a major representative in later times, and Deborah Mayo’s “error-statistical” approach to hypothesis testing arguably develops this tradition (Mayo 1996 and Mayo and Spanos 2010; see Bird 2010, Kitcher 1993, 219 ff., and Meehl 1990 for other contemporary variations).
