In the philosophy of science, underdetermination or the ‘’’ underdetermination of theory by data ’’’ (sometimes abbreviated ‘’’UTD’’’ ) is the idea that evidence available to us at a given time may be insufficient to determine what beliefs we should hold in response to it. Underdetermination says that all evidence necessarily underdetermines any scientific theory.
