I am very proud of this paper, which proposes a systematic method for testing whether theories putatively explain empirical phenomena. Congrats to the whole team, thanks to @Noah_van_Dongen for pulling it over the finish line.

@dennyborsboom Haha, so cool, the APA site adds ?-links to words in the abstract, including to the word "explanation"!

I think this definition does not really match the one in your paper, does it? :)
