On the other hand, C is clearly better supported by the data and not as complicated (a theory) as A. power and simplicity; we can assume that our three theories do not differ the overall 'goodness' of a theory with respect to the different criteria. Another way to avoid intransitivity of rational theory choice would be and not of criteria of evaluation of theories (which is something different). transitivity of rational theory choice (i.e., (T)) might be violated. Multiplicity of criteria is necessary, but not sufficient, for the rational acceptability of some intransitive preferences among theories. for the rational acceptability of some intransitive preferences among theories. In some cases (not all, of course), rational choice between theories violates the transitivity assumption. to weigh the different criteria of theory choice? such that no theory is better), then there cannot always be a 'rational'	./cache/work_esc7k47pjvhqlpoviul36yfdlm.pdf	./txt/work_esc7k47pjvhqlpoviul36yfdlm.txt
