Steve:
Would this be good wording to explain a paradigm as it relates to fire investigation?
What is a paradigm as it relates to fire investigation - Set of recognized scientific factors that for a time provide a model for the community of investigators; the investigators must recognize that the paradigm is not merely a hypothesis, but is influenced by other factors such as scientific observation and experience. The paradigm defines the problem that is attempting to be solved and address specifically the questions and facts that need to be assembled in order to address the examination of the problem, which is the accurate identification of the origin and cause of the incident. A paradigm assumes "truth" and is only redefined when there is sufficient documentation acquired through recognized methods of examination of the facts to where it calls what is believed to be the truth into question.
