Nice picture, but IMHO there are a few things
that may be challenged.
First of all a question: are the boxes in red
supposed to challenge the ones in green?

The one about the thin vellum reminds me of
the 17th C theory that hemp grows on the planet
Jupiter.
(It has four mooons, which are suitable for 
navigation. Navigation involves ships, which
require rope ..... )

Finally, an observation (or test result) cannot
identify the one correct hypothesis. It can 
only divide all hypotheses in two groups, those
that are compatible with it and those that
aren't.

Cheers, Rene
