    Yeah, but if you don’t have enough evidence to prove something conclusively, but the limited evidence you DO have supports one particular theory, then it’s fine to say that you have a preferred theory with low confidence. Occams razor is frequently applied in these situations in order to pave a way forward, knowing that it could be wrong. It’s a matter of taking your best guess based on limited evidence.
