Without the ability to prove your hypothesis. And if after subjecting your hypothesis to testing "50" times and still the possibility exists that the 51st time can disporve your investigation Is that not reasonable doubt ? Where does it end ? When is it safe to feel you have exausted every option ? In most cases I am unable to feel that I am finshed. I am struggling with the fact it's not possible to ever be sure.
