    1. The document discusses different types of evidence that can be used to support claims, including logical and empirical evidence. 2. It notes that using a single raven as evidence is not enough, as one would need to examine all ravens to generalize that they are black. Instead, random sampling can be used. 3. The document asks how to determine what constitutes good evidence, suggesting using a number scale or consensus, but notes challenges in doing so. It then discusses different sampling methods like census, random selection, and drawing lots that can help provide representativeness.
