I provide a brief comment on Allen & Pardo’s “Relative plausibility and its critics”. I agree that their relative plausibility explanationism (RPE) provides an attractive positive description of fact finding in litigation. But unlike Allen & pardo, I see RPE as methodologically consistent with the leading conceptions of evidentiary probabilism, Bayesianism and likelihoodism. Thus, I argue, the best view of the relationship between the approaches is that RPE is a friendly amendment to–because it provides a positive foundation for–probabilism.

一切都是相对的：解释主义和概率证据理论

我对 Allen & Pardo 的“相对合理性及其批评者”做一个简短的评论。我同意他们的相对合理性解释主义 (RPE) 为诉讼中的事实调查提供了有吸引力的积极描述。但与 Allen & pardo 不同，我认为 RPE 在方法论上与证据概率论、贝叶斯主义和似然论的主要概念一致。因此，我认为，对这些方法之间关系的最佳看法是 RPE 是对概率论的友好修正——因为它为概率论提供了积极的基础。
