Abstract
- The paper 'Can Reaction Mechanisms Be Proven?' raises valid and pertinent points such as that the concept of mechanism can not be proven. However, their argument to support their extension of the dogma where repetitious experiments that fail to disprove a mechanism do not prove it, is something of a reductio ad absurdum.
