# Debate 1 ### Human Experiment Reductio | **Definiendum** | **Definiens** | |:-------------------------------------------:|:------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **V** | human studies (x) are vulnerable to bias and small effect sizes | | **D** | human studies (x) can demonstrate causality or support causal inference | | **G** | human studies (x) are garbage | | **e** | human experiments |
P1) If human studies are vulnerable to bias and small effect sizes, then human studies cannot demonstrate causality or support causal inference.
(∀x(Vx→¬Dx))
P2)
Human experiments are vulnerable to bias and small effect sizes.
(Ve)
P3)
If human experiments cannot demonstrate causality or support causal inference, then human experiments are garbage.
(¬De→Ge)
C)
Therefore, human experiments are garbage.
(∴Ge)
