Faith: the belief in something for which there is no evidence or logical proof; acceptance of ideals, beliefs, etc., which are not necessarily demonstrable through experimentation or reason
the belief in something for which there is no material evidence or empirical proof; acceptance of ideals, beliefs, etc., which are not necessarily demonstrable through experimentation or observation.
I think the second is much more accurate.
Thanks for the support. ;)
you might also want to work in the concept of trust i.e. argument from authority is not logically valid but this does not mean that all assertions or beliefs based upon trust MUST be untrue. It just means that without resort to Occam's razor, they are more likely to lead to factual errors.
"Null hypothesis" will minimize false positives but makes no guarantees about false negatives...
