An example of a similitudo in ordinary life: Some guy goes to the doctor with a fever, malaise, a headache, and a mildly sore throat. The doctor thinks "if this man had mumps, he would have all of these symptoms, as well as inflammation of the parotid glands in the jaw." So the doctor checks the man's jaw and discovers swollen parotid glands: his hypothesis is proven true and the poor patient's got a really rotten couple of weeks ahead of him. | "Hey! That's my car!" "No, it isn't, it's the wrong color." "Maybe the thief painted it; look, it's got the same dent in the driver's side door, the same worn spot on the steering wheel, he's even got my fuzzy dice on the mirror!" "Doesn't prove anything." "Wait! If it's my car, it'll have an ace of clubs scratched on the inside of the gas tank lid." "Well, what do you know ... I guess it is your car. Call the cops." |
