    Supports→Dawid's uniqueness-claim analysis addresses a different problem than the restricted problem of quantum gravity.

    The no-alternatives argument requires exhausting theoretical space across all interactions simultaneously, a condition that does not obtain for the restricted quantum gravity problem.

    Key Terms

    Exhausting theoretical space(as used in philosophy of science)
    Checking or accounting for every single possible idea, explanation, or scenario that could exist within a given problem or theory.
    Quantum gravity(as the subject being interpreted)
    A theoretical framework that tries to combine two major physics theories—Einstein's general relativity (which explains gravity) and quantum mechanics (which explains tiny particles)—into one unified system.
    Restricted quantum gravity problem(as used in physics and philosophy of physics)
    A simplified or narrowed-down version of the quantum gravity challenge that focuses on specific conditions or scenarios rather than the entire theoretical problem.
    no-alternatives argument(Dawid (2014), concerning string theory)
    A uniqueness claim according to which string theory is the only way to unify gravity and the other fundamental interactions.
