Observation: We brought a block of unsliced cheese on the same day, and it isn't moldy at all.
Hypothesis: I think that sliced cheese gets moldy faster because people touch it more.
Results: After five days, both sets of cheese that I touched are moldy. Both sets of cheese that I left alone have no mold.
Experiment: I keep four separate sets of cheese in the refrigerator: five slices that I touch once a day; five slices that I leave untouched; five cubes of unsliced cheese that I touch once a day; and five cubes of cheese that I leave untouched.
Problem: Why is the sliced cheese in the fridge all moldy?
Conclusion: I was right: Touching is the critical factor in making cheese mold.
Inference: There must be something about sliced cheese that makes it more likely to mold.
