“Our assent to the hypothesis implies that it is held to be true of all particular instances.

Because the rule prevails, it includes all cases.”
William Whewell
“So when I say it I mean it, and it is not a hypothesis. I have experienced It that way. The mind can be used and can be put aside. It is an instrument, a very beautiful instrument; no need to be so obsessed with it. No need to be so fixed, fixated with it. Then it becomes a disease.”
Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh
“Your Highness, I have no need of this hypothesis.”

Jerome Bruner
“That is our prime hypothesis,”
Juan Zarate
“It's a very plausible hypothesis,”
JoAnn Manson
“The import of poultry or poultry products can also pass the virus and the hypothesis that wild birds are to blame is groundless.”
