According to Allen and Pardo, ‘relative plausibility’ is the best explanation of judicial proof; and the process to identify a best explanation would be, in short, holistic and comparative. My work is a plea for clarification of some items that would constitute their theory, before I (or anyone) give a holistic explanation of them and compare their account with alternatives. I raise three issues: the epistemological relevance of the empirical data used, the kind of holism argued and the fact-finder’s cognitive capacities role in their account.

更少的概率和更多的解释主义

根据艾伦和帕尔多的说法，“相对合理性”是司法证明的最佳解释；简而言之，确定最佳解释的过程将是整体性和比较性的。我的工作是在我（或任何人）对它们进行全面解释并将其说明与替代方案进行比较之前，要求澄清一些构成他们理论的项目。我提出了三个问题：所使用的经验数据的认识论相关性、整体论的类型以及事实发现者的认知能力在他们的解释中的作用。
