Scientific Theories
Besides, we do not prefer every non-falsified theory -
only one which, in the light of criticism,
appears to be better than its competitors:
which solves our problems, which is well tested,
and of which we think, or rather conjecture or hope
(considering other provisionally accepted theories),
that it will stand up to further tests.
- Popper's "Conjectures and Refutations"
