that observing tank nuebmr 2176 best supports the hypothesis that there are exactly 2176 tanks. That is clearly nonsensical, but it is again dependent on the idea that a single observation allows estimation of both the mean and a range parameter. It clearly cannot do that, so the argument does nothing to weaken claims that likelihood functions encapsulate the evidential meaning of experimental data.All in all, this paper is a very nice book review and it’s written in a plain style that would be approachable by a wider range of readers than his book. However, it doesn’t seem to have the rigor of Hacking’s earlier book (1965) and because if that I find it disappointing. It certainly does not contain a compelling reason to discard or replace likelihood functions.
