Evidence Record

Evidence summary

The article identifies covering-law, inference-to-best-explanation, and semantic interpretations of Origin, argues that each has textual support but fails as a complete account, and proposes three causal-efficacy strategies.

Exact claim supported or contradicted

Supports caution against assigning one simple global progression to a complex work and provides a competing interpretation to the pilot's chapter-level code.

Source provenance

Peer-reviewed Philosophy of Science article; DOI metadata and abstract were reviewed. Full argument was not independently reproduced from raw annotations.

Relevant excerpt or data

The abstract explicitly states that multiple models have textual support and that none captures the overall strategy before proposing an alternative.

Interpretation

Rhetorical coding is theory-laden. The pilot must remain unit-specific and record alternative readings instead of treating code labels as observations.

Limitations

This evidence concerns Darwin and philosophy-of-science interpretation, not reader comprehension. Access in this cycle was limited to publisher metadata and abstract.

Counterevidence

Chapter-level move coding can remain reproducible even when whole-book models disagree, provided the unit and evidence are explicit.
