| Oct 5, 2016 at 8:45 | comment | added | ROBOKiTTY | I'm not sure it's fair to say the more speculative explanation is a "statement of faith, not science". It does make more assumptions, which makes it less parsimonious under Occam's Razor, but the speculative scenario is internally consistent, i.e. if the cat did react this way, that would be the likely outcome. In fact, the speculation opens up more avenues for research (e.g. modelling and testing such a scenario, observing how a cat actually acts in a controlled environment, etc) than the more dismissive but parsimonious appeal to survival bias. | |
