Practice question · Multiple choice
A student submits the proposal "I want to explore the relationship between colour and emotion." Why can no amount of work in the studio confirm or disturb that proposal?
Hints
- Ask what result would show the proposal to be wrong.
- Nothing that happens over twelve weeks could bear on it either way.
Show the answer
D. It names a territory, not a question, so no result counts as an answer or failure
Why
Nothing could count against it, which is the test it fails. "Does a passage read as warmer when its neighbour is cooled at constant value?" is the same interest made answerable, and it can come out no. Emotion is a perfectly good subject, and length is not the problem, falsifiability is.
