Realists typically support the success-to-truth principle (or similar principles) with the no-miracles argument (NMA): "Given that a theory enjoys the refuted theories of the past with respect to degrees of success. success of a theory at a given time is in part determined by the total number I will now aim to compare the degrees of success of the refuted theories In order to compare the degrees of success of current best theories with increase in degrees of success of our current best theories. theories of those times, in particular the degrees of success of the refuted	./cache/work_x72nvl4qhbddde3x7suqrzs2xa.pdf	./txt/work_x72nvl4qhbddde3x7suqrzs2xa.txt
