Inference to the Best Explanation argument #1 [1] Racoons have gone extinct is the best explanation of why I haven't seen any raccoons in the neighborhood for weeks. [2] But maybe there's other things I need to consider? [3] The idea that they're all hiding from me because I scare them doesn't fit with my understanding of their fearless personalities. [4] A year ago, I saw one stealing ice cream from my fridge! [5] I don't think I could reasonably assume that I've recently become unable to detect raccoons. As I said, [6] I haven't seen any raccoons in the neighborhood for weeks, which means [7] they're extinct. [8] That's good, because I hate raccoons.
