We found suggestions of an association between ESR1 haplotypes and the risk for postmenopausal ductal breast cancer of mild to moderate severity, although this is conceivably a false positive finding.
It is easy, he argues, to obtain evidence in favour of virtually any theory, and he consequently holds that such 'corroboration', as he terms it, should count scientifically only if it is the positive result of a genuinely 'risky' prediction, which might conceivably have been false.
False testing could conceivably make it possible for unscrupulous builders to pour substandard concrete that shortened the lives of important structures, even if it did not make them vulnerable to catastrophic failure.
Although this apparent high prevalence of prior infection in MS could conceivably be the consequence of either false negative tests within the general population or false positive tests in MS patients, both possibilities seem unlikely.
Imperfect specificity of the alcoholism diagnosis (a high false-positive rate) could conceivably bias a true positive association towards the null.
Conceivably, if the universe is in a false vacuum state, a collider such as Cern's could punch a hole in the fabric of space, like a hole in the dam, allowing the entire universe to fall out of the false vacuum and settle at a lower level.
This would imply considering that some of these predictions could conceivably be true while others would – simultaneously – be false.
By performing two measurements, one with EDTA and one with EDTA plus catalase, we rule out false positives due to other reactions that could conceivably lead to the formation of CV+.
For, plausibly, if a moral judgement is just a belief to the effect that some natural fact obtains, I might at least conceivably hold that belief and simply not give a damn.[12] In which case, if naturalism is true, internalism must be false.
