 * Paradox of Confirmation / Paradox of Ravens. Carl Gustav Hempel
 * I think here the definition of evidence is odd. Scientific theories are only falsifiable, not proveable
 * Longer description:
 * Instance confirmation: An instance of A is B supports A is B (I think this is vague. "supports")
 * [Unnamed] All A is B = All not B is not A
 * THEREFORE An not B that is not A supports all A is B
 * A red (non-black) chair (non-raven) supports that all ravens are black
