plausible explanations are tricky business, because sometimes you explain something wrong but it seems plausible enough that you believe it. i don't really know how to avoid this except I guess by seeking more/alternate explanations + also being ok with "& maybe we're all wrong"

I'm reminded of a great line from a letter from HG Wells to James Joyce in 1928: "the world is wide and there is room for both of us to be wrong." https://t.co/dstbbvg9kl
