4·8 days agoThey’re not just different ranges of probability.
Probable = likely to happen
Possible = able to happen
Plausible = able or likely to happen according to reasonable inference
Probabilities will likely happen.
Possibilities could happen if chances go right.
Plausibilities could, within reason, happen, but are not necessarily likely.

Wasn’t aware of this, here’s what I find on a search:
The problem with hydrogen peroxide, it may be killing the germs, but it’s also killing the healthy tissue in there too … and that can then cause a larger wound than we would have had otherwise. And quite honestly, that whole process of sterilizing it and killing everything off isn’t really necessary. You don’t need that. You don’t need to make this a completely sterile environment. The body is set up to fight off bacteria and help to heal things, so you’re probably doing more harm than good with it.
Simple tap water. It’s very simple. If you can just run that wound under tap water for like 5 minutes, 5 to 10 minutes, lukewarm water, just let that water run through it, clean it out, just kind of wash it out. You don’t have to spray it on there. It doesn’t have to be high pressure. … Studies have been done looking at that and have shown that works just great, just as well as anything else in terms of getting that wound cleaned out and avoiding infection.

Just replied on another comment. Search for Erica Chenoweth https://www.ericachenoweth.com/research/wcrw
What I’m familiar with is Erica Chenowith who authored work in this area. Here’s her summarizing it on TEDx:
https://www.nonviolent-conflict.org/resource/success-nonviolent-civil-resistance/
Between 1900 and 2006, campaigns of nonviolent resistance were more than twice as effective as their violent counterparts.
https://www.ericachenoweth.com/research/wcrw
One of the reasons is that nonviolent resistance attracts more supporters, and once there’s enough support for enough time, things are more likely to change.
Chenoweth’s painstaking research, unprecedented in its scope and historical breadth, has shed new light on the understanding of civil resistance, political change, and the surprising effectiveness of nonviolent action.
The key ingredients of a successful nonviolent resistance movement, the researchers found, are:
- A large and diverse population of participants that can be sustained over time.
- The ability to create loyalty shifts among key regime-supporting groups such as business elites, state media, and—most important—security elites such as the police and the military.
- A creative and imaginative variation in methods of resistance beyond mass protest.
- The organizational discipline to face direct repression without having the movement fall apart or opt for violence.
Is this just your conjecture, or do you base this on something? Because there is research that supports nonviolent protest movements being the more effective path.
