Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the processes that result in knowing and believing the truth of a judgment from an examination in a particular case. Knowing and believing is the state of satisfaction that is reached when all the relevant and appropriate questions of the inquiry have been asked and answered about a topic. Knowing and believing are applied to puzzle solving within comparative science. Determining the answer to the puzzles of two images or pieces having common origin is comparative science. The goal of the forensic comparative scientist is to determine whether comparative measurements agree with the objective dimensions of the objects. Deductive logic starts with the general and ends with the particular, inferring that the result is certain as long as the premises of the case and rule are true. It is observed that the particular of the details between two images must agree if the examiner knows the two sufficient images did come from the same unique and persistent source. It is suggested that the examiner must acknowledge the role, ethics, and responsibility of judging, an important component of the forensic comparative scientist. |
