SRC03-E01: Multiple sources list same three ++ - --

Legend: - ++ Strongly supports - + Supports - -- Strongly contradicts - - Contradicts - N/A Not applicable to this hypothesis

Diagnosticity Analysis

Most Diagnostic Evidence

Evidence ID Why Diagnostic
SRC02-E01 Criterion's detailed Hamlet analysis of The Bad Sleep Well is maximally diagnostic — it discriminates H1 from H2 by providing specific evidence for the Hamlet connection

Least Diagnostic Evidence

Evidence ID Why Non-Diagnostic
SRC03-E01 Confirms the standard list but does not add analytical depth to discriminate between H1 and H2

Outcome

Hypothesis supported: H1 — Three films: Throne of Blood (Macbeth), The Bad Sleep Well (Hamlet), Ran (King Lear).

Hypotheses eliminated: H3 — No evidence of additional films beyond three.

Hypotheses inconclusive: H2 — Has some support (contested Bad Sleep Well connection) but is the minority position among authoritative sources.
