    a sampling/testing of a population requires a statistical ASSUMPTION to describe a population?

    this applies to paleontology populations too?

    sampling/testing happens with theory that is testable?

    a theory is a reversible conjecture?

    conjecture is induction or deduction?




    sorry ...

    a hypothesis is a reversible conjecture?

    a theory is a testable hypothesis?

    I suppose, if by "reversible" you mean "falsifiable".


    a theory is a testable hypothesis?


    Incorrect. A theory is an hypothesis that has been tested, and
    supported, by material evidence.
