    Sorry, maybe it’s just been a long day but I don’t quite see how that means that confirmation does not mean anything other than it is either proven or at least very likely to be the case.

    The first sentence is

    The term “confirmation” is used in epistemology and the philosophy of science whenever observational data and evidence “speak in favor of” or support scientific theories and everyday hypotheses. "

    I haven’t exhaustively read every bit of the webpage but so far I am not seeing anything that contradicts the above. What am I missing here?

      proven or at least very likely to be the case.

      two very different things :) scientific folks try to be very specific with their language
