A denials politician will accept claims that are in agreementwith his position claiming that the data presented to support themis substantiated. A lawyer can either be for or against supportinga position depending on which side he represents. Thus he examinesdata with a view towards interpreting it as good or bad dependingon the outcome he wishes to achieve.A skeptic will only accept claims made, whether they presentthemselves as substantiated or not, after examining and evaluatingthe data supporting them.Many bogus claims - fad diets, get richschemes, or the presence of human skinned lizard overlords - arepresented with serious claims and must be denied by all.A skeptic will support claims made which are accompaniedsubstantiated data. He will however not accept the truthfulness ofthe data without investigation. The other two will set set low barsfor "substantiated" if they wish to support the position or willdisavow the data if it suits them.
