What NIDS recorded at the ranch amounts to its staff's testimony; its instruments caught nothing it would stand behind, and it published no ranch data.

**Most likely** Answers **1** questionInduced0

## Where it stands

**Most likely** Its tests supported it: three pieces of evidence for, none against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.

## What it predicts

- No NIDS publication reports ranch measurements.
- NIDS published full case reports when it had material, so the absence for the ranch is not a policy of silence.

## What would rule it out

- A NIDS report or dataset from the ranch with instrument records of an unexplained event.
