In methodology, the power of a method is inversely proportional to the generality of the method, i.e.: the more specific the method, the more powerful. ==Examples== ''rather general (not very powerful)'' * the exception proves the rule; * blame your predecessor; * when in doubt, cut it out; * to understand something is to stand under it; * false dichotomy, as "there are two kinds of people in the world" ''somewhat specific'' * find, then control key variables to make an experiment reproducible. * make hypotheses, then try to disprove them; * form a question, the answer to which will divide the problem space into two subspaces of about equal size; * Occam's razor: all else being equal, the more likely hypothesis is the one with fewer assumptions; * measure with micrometer, mark with chalk, cut with axe; ''very specific (very powerful)'' * confirm presence of blood with luminol; 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Power of a method」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
