The search for an Aristotelian hamartia has led all too often to the trite argument that Hamlet suffers from melancholia and a tragic inability to act, whereas a more plausible reading of the play argues that finding the right course of action is highly problematic for him and for everyone.
Few patients developed binding anti-G-CSF antibodies in all treatment groups whereas no confirmed plausible neutralising antibodies were detected.
A larger effect size may not be plausible, whereas a smaller effect size brings us at or near levels where the study could have statistical but not clinical significance.
Because the oxygen-reducing heme group is an obligate one-electron donor, a superoxide intermediate is mechanistically plausible, whereas the direct formation of H2O2 without a superoxide intermediate is mechanistically implausible.
Whereas it seems plausible to assume that the efficacy and safety compared to VKA treatment in the acute treatment studies can be extended to prolonged treatment, long-term registries are needed to investigate this assumption.
Whereas it is plausible that health itself may be related to HRQL, the subjective nature of the rating of both concepts and the inclusion of a similar item as part of the concept of HRQL may partly explain this association.
In another two patients, genotype data were unavailable: in one case the age at diagnosis was 37 years (hence making inherited PCC/PGL disease potentially plausible), whereas in the second patient the age at diagnosis was 73 years, making the possibility of having inherited PCC/PGL disease less likely.
First year students who are just beginning to learn skills are likely to benefit from any practice effort, regardless of structure and organisation, whereas it seems plausible that a lack of focus on identified weaknesses would hamper learning after Year 1.
However, in both experiments, validity and plausibility were used as within-subjects factors and we demonstrated that stock-brokers show a decrement in performance with implausible compared to the plausible inferences, whereas the control group was not affected by the conclusions' plausibility.
But whereas Friedman offers a plausible theoretical case for capitalism, there doesn't seem to be any intellectually respectable support for current conservatives' much more radical understanding of the system.
