Abstract


We thank Ton Broeders for inviting us to comment on the question of whether or not forensic experts should draw conclusions about the probability (or certainty) of a hypothesis. We cannot over-emphasize the importance of carefully considering this issue because the terminology used to describe the strength of evidence is intimately connected with the logical structure of forensic inference.
