If intrinsic probability were determined solely by specificity, then the probability of theism versus naturalism would be underdetermined by Le Poidevin's framework, since both can be formulated at varying levels of specificity.

Le Poidevin's framework(contemporary philosophy): A specific philosophical approach developed by Robin Le Poidevin (a British philosopher who studies metaphysics and religion) for thinking about how to compare different worldviews.
intrinsic probability(Used to characterize Le Poidevin's first premise about the comparative probability of theism and atheism): The probability of a hypothesis judged independently of specific evidence, i.e., prior probability
naturalism(Mill's philosophical framework as characterized in the passage): A substantive theoretical doctrine offering a systematic and coherent way of thinking about the world and the history of human theoretical engagement with it
specificity(Criterion for assessing intrinsic probability): A property of claims whereby less specific claims have more ways of being true and are therefore more probable; the only uncontroversial criterion of intrinsic probability according to Le Poidevin
