abstract: "That Haig and Sohn find the hypothetico-deductive approach wanting in different ways shows that multiple conditional syllogisms are being used in different stages of theory corroboration in the Popperian approach.  The issues raised in the two commentaries assume a different complexion when certain distinctions are made.\n\n"
