Probabilistic conditional reasoning : disentangling form and content with the dual-source model... Overall, our results support the view that people make use of background knowledge in line with current Bayesian models, but they also suggest that the form of the conditional argument, irrespective of its content, plays a substantive, yet smaller, role
A landmark for popperian epidemiology: refutation of the randomised aldactone evaluation study...

Counterfactual truths: the logical structure of argumentative thought experiments... In contrast to the practice in formal logic, exponents of argumentative thought experiments claim that the logical validity of a conclusion drawn within the framework of a particular conditional argument also holds beyond the particular conditional in question....
