    Challenges→Analogical reasoning can be justified by determination rules without trivializing the analogical argument

    If the determination rule is known with sufficient precision to license the inference, the source case contributes no independent evidential weight beyond what the rule already supplies.

    Key Terms

    Evidential weight(in discussions about justification and reasoning)
    How much a piece of evidence should count toward proving or disproving something—whether it's strong proof or weak proof.
    determination rule(Used to justify analogical reasoning by grounding the transfer of properties from source to target domain)
    A rule specifying that the value of a property Q in a domain is fully determined by a set of variables P_i, such that any two objects indistinguishable on each P_i will share the same value for Q
    independent evidential weight(as used in epistemology)
    The ability of something to support a conclusion on its own, without needing to rely on other things to make it meaningful.
    license the inference(describes what preferences do not justify)
    Provide enough logical justification to conclude something is true or the right course of action.
