Another way of explaining the ‘locating the hypothesis’ concept would be to say: “When answering a question with a large number of possible answers, it takes more work to narrow down the possibilities (generate the reasonable hypotheses) than it does to test those hypotheses for correctness.”
That is correct, and even more importantly “When answering a question with a large enough number of possible answers, any single possible answer will have a bigger chance of being a false positive than true positive if tested”
Just to confirm:

Is that right?
