 One attractive feature of HD-confirmation is that it largely eludes the ravens paradox. As the hypothesis \(h\) that all ravens are black does not entail that some generally sampled object \(a\) will be a black raven, the HD view of confirmation is not committed to the eminently Hempelian implication that \(e = raven(a) \wedge black(a)\) confirms \(h\). Likewise, \(\neg black(a) \wedge \neg raven(a)\) does not HD-confirm that all non-black objects are non-raven. The derivation of the paradox, as presented above, is thus blocked.
