The relative plausibility theory advanced by Professors Allen and Pardo is an important contribution to understanding the process of drawing inferences from evidence. It is, to be sure, an incomplete descriptive theory, and it suffers from defects as an interpretive theory. These problems are even more acute when they offer the theory as a model of the burdens of proof and the full panoply of rules related thereto.

相对合理性理论的局限性

Allen 和 Pardo 教授提出的相对合理性理论对理解从证据中得出推论的过程做出了重要贡献。可以肯定的是，它是一种不完整的描述性理论，并且它作为一种解释性理论存在缺陷。当这些问题将理论作为举证责任和与之相关的全套规则的模型时，它们就更加尖锐了。
