… seems to me a major drawback to the approach.
•  These comments are not meant to be interpreted as an argument against F;
they merely suggest that P.
•  It seems (a bit) artificial to have P in such matters restricted by Q.
 It seems unlikely that this theory will capture all the aspects of P.
•  It is nonsensical / an error to regard P as Q/ to presume that P.
 It is doubtful/ I doubt that Р/ if this claim is true.
 It is my (firm) belief/ My suspicion is that P (is erroneous).
 It is not even a half truth to say that P.
 It is perhaps a symptom of the reductionist tendency deplored by F.
•  I am unsure whether P (is possible).
 I am afraid/ not sure/1 am not convinced that P.
 I am skeptical/ critical/ suspicious of an account which assumes that P.
•  I object to/ refute the statement/ argument that P.
 I cannot see any immediate gain to be had from adopting this possibility.
1.4 Data analysis

1.4.1 Empirical observations, data, illustrations, examples

•  Our description ... rests on evidence obtained experimentally.
 Our analysis ... rest on evidence available from biology.
 This research/ study/ claim ... rests on findings/ materials of P.
 This investigation ... draws on observations of P.
 We limit the analysis to ... two phenomena (sample cases/substances), P and Q.
 Turning to the data under consideration, ... we should consider P (we shall see if
P).
 Using examples drawn from recorded conversations, ... we shall explore P.
 It is important … to examine P and determine/ establish Q.
 It is necessary … to find out to what extent Q.
 In order to examine/ establish/ obtain P ... it is essential to estimate/evaluate Q.
 In order to reveal P … it is essential to validate.
 We have not yet examined … the causal relationships in this case.
 We have to examine … the relationship between P and Q.
 Before we proceed to evaluate P, it is informative to check/ assess/ determine Q.
 For P we need certain data, such as observations/ calculations/ estimates of Q.
 From this perspective, let us re-examine/ determine/ assess/ explore P.
 I shall try to illustrate the idea/ tendency/ the role of P in Q in the rest of this
paper.
 As an illustration of this approach, we consider here the investigation made by F.
 A brief discussion of one example of P would be appropriate here.
 In this section I want to turn to examples/ to give instances of Р/ to analyze the
data.
 Some specimen analyses/ data observations are given below.
 Some concrete illustrations/ examples are given below.
•  Evidence for P ... was obtained in studies on the myocardium.
 Such evidence ... may be derived from evolution/ confirm P.
