  (2.1c) provides a subjectivist rationale for the hypothetico-deductive model of confirmation. According to this model, hypotheses are incrementally confirmed by any evidence they entail.  While subjectivists reject the idea that evidentiary relations can be characterized in a belief-independent manner — Bayesian confirmation is always relativized to a person and her subjective probabilities — they seek to preserve the basic insight of the H-D model by pointing out that hypotheses are incrementally supported by evidence they entail for anyone who has not already made up her mind about the hypothesis or the evidence.  More precisely, if H entails E, then PE(H) = P(H)/P(E), which exceeds P(H) whenever 1 &gt; P(E), P(H) &gt; 0.  This explains why scientists so often seek to design experiments that fit the H-D paradigm.  Even when evidentiary relations are relativized to subjective probabilities, experiments in which the hypothesis under test entails the data will be regarded as evidentially relevant by anyone who has not yet made up his mind about the hypothesis or the data. The degree of incremental confirmation will vary among people depending on their prior levels of confidence in H and E , but everyone will agree that the data incrementally supports the hypothesis to at least some degree.
