1. Uma bióloga que estuda mariposas nas ilhas Faroe se esforça para identificar
os indivíduos que ela coleta, mas apesar de suas boas intenções, ela comete
diversos erros de classificação. Portanto, seus colegas se abstêm de tirar
quaisquer conclusões sobre os relatórios de seu estudo.
2. Um bioquímico fabrica dados experimentais, na intenção de confirmar uma
hipótese recente sobre a biossíntese de teias de aranha. Apesar de seu
relatório ser falso, a hipótese é confirmada pouco tempo depois através de
experimentos legítimos.
1. Pertence a um assunto que está contido nos domínios da ciência no sentido ampliado (o
critério do domínio científico).
2. Sofre de uma falta severa de confiabilidade a ponto de não merecer crédito (o critério da
não-confiabilidade).
3. Faz parte de uma doutrina em que seus principais proponentes tentam criar a impressão
de que representa o conhecimento mais confiável sobre seu objeto de estudos (o critério
da doutrina desviante).
