We identify two kinds of independence appealed to in robustness arguments: ontic independence (OI)—when the multiple lines of evidence depend the notion of diversity of evidence and show that only very particular empirical scenarios warrant a robustness argument, and such scenarios are constrained in ways not usually recognized in the wide literature that appeals what a wide variety of substances are involved and how diverse are the phenomena being observed." Culp (1995) considers robustness arguments compelling if the following condition is met: "the techniques must not all use the things that are often said must differ between lines of evidence in order to satisfy the independence condition for robustness arguments. When ontically independent evidence supports a hypothesis, it is often thought that one can construct a robustness argument.3 ontically independent and all the evidence confirms the same hypothesis, a robustness argument may not be warranted.	./cache/work_osgu5hmqsnfkraqoob6rvx2gqe.pdf	./txt/work_osgu5hmqsnfkraqoob6rvx2gqe.txt
