Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Morgan would reject the inference that the cat is happy because it is not directly observable or testable through scientific methods. While we can observe the cat’s behavior and make the inference that it is expecting food, we cannot scientifically prove its emotional state. Morgan believed that science should only deal with observable and testable phenomena.
