When scientists formulate their theories, expectations, and hypotheses, they often use statements like: ``I expect mean A to be bigger than means B and C"e;; ``I expect that the relation between Y and both X1 and X2 is positive"e;; and ``I expect the relation between Y and X1 to be stronger than the relation between Y and X2"e;.
