 So the range of hypotheses to compare should be broad. Just because the likelihood ratio equals one for a specific selection of \(H\) and \(H'\), it does not follow that it equals one for any selection of \(H\) and \(H'\) which are of consequence to the determination of what happened. In Small Town Murder, whether the suspect was in town is of consequence for determining what happened (if he was not in town, he could not have committed the crime). The fact that he was seen driving is helpful information for establishing whether he was in town.
