Description

Congruence Bias
 
One does not simply say that an experiment confirms the hypothesis. Because if you say so it means the experiment makes the hypothesis more probable that any other explanation. But we can not check every possible hypothesis so you can say it in another way: the experiment shows that the hypothesis is more probable than the second most probable hypothesis.

But… the experiment performed did confirm the hypothesis. The OC’s name was spelled 3 times in the same panel and she got summoned. By the scientific method, the hypothesis was right (although they would need to prove it to be replicable, which may or may not happen)
