Observation: Within this newsgroup, liberals seem to be extremely
concerned about Bozamas birth certificate whereas almost nobody else
expresses any interest.

Hypothesis: Liberals are out of touch with reality.

Experiment: None necessary because the Hypothesis is simply a
definition of Liberal.

Conclusion: See "Hypothesis"


hy?poth?e?sis[hahy-poth-uh-sis, hi-]

1.a proposition, or set of propositions, set forth as an explanation for
the occurrence of some specified group of phenomena, either asserted
merely as a provisional conjecture to guide investigation (working
hypothesis) or accepted as highly probable in the light of established
facts.

2.a proposition assumed as a premise in an argument.

3.the antecedent of a conditional proposition.

4.a mere assumption or guess.

Ok, I saw it, does not say Liberal.
