Re: DEF
If no then E proceeds to block 3 where two questions are asked. Does E have a small probability of occurring AND is E specified? If yes we attribute/ infer E was designed.
What happens if the answer is "NO" to one or both of the questions asked in block 3?
added by edit:
Also, can you quantify the words "small" and "high" as they apply to probability? Is there some sort of break point where it changes or is it an inferred assessment?
