Abstract

This article is a response to a comment by Baveye in which he invites me to expand on the use of the word relativism in the context of environmental models. Limitations to a classical statistical approach to model (as realist hypothesis) falsification are discussed. It is concluded that environmental modelling must necessarily be operator dependent and relativist, even while being conducted in a context of pragmatic realism.

回复Philippe Baveye的“环境模型中一种新型相对主义的出现:评论”

这篇文章是对Baveye的评论的回应，他邀请我在环境模型的背景下扩展“相对主义”这个词的使用。讨论了经典统计方法对模型(如现实主义假设)证伪的局限性。得出的结论是，即使在实用现实主义的背景下进行环境建模，也必须是依赖于操作员和相对主义的。
