Underdetermination
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
The epistemic problem of underdetermination is that, for every given set of data, there is an infinite number of theories equally consistent with that data and therefore having identical explanatory power. Its effect on many epistemological issues, such as the scientific method, is profound.
