Computations that actually use the tested hypothesis as an auxiliary (which Glymour originally intended to allow, According to the revised bootstrap account, such "confirmation" is perfectly proper.7 Yet to my mind, this is as clear a case of evidential irrelevance as any cited by Glymour. As it turned out, computations involving the objectionable kind of circularity did not always violate the original version of the bootstrap account (see Christensen 1983); indeed, Glymour's new condition is in part 	./cache/work_7pyzvixgxnaulhvw7bc2qmyiea.pdf	./txt/work_7pyzvixgxnaulhvw7bc2qmyiea.txt
