Read the following passage carefully and choose the most appropriate answer to the question out of the four alternatives. To avoid the various foolish opinions to which mankind are prone no superhuman brain is required. A few simple rules will keep you free not from all errors but from silly errors. If the matter is one that can be settled by observation make the observation yourself. Aristotle could have avoided the mistake of thinking that women have fewer teeth than men by the simple device of asking Mrs. Aristotle to keep her mouth open while he counted.

The author is in favour of drawing conclusions on the basis of
