Experimental evidence can be the key to confidence. Past results of experiments, which each involve variables that are similar to the grouped experiments, causing a consistent result, is supportive evidence that future circumstances containing similar variables, will cause a similar result. Therefore, confidence can be kept, that the outcome will be as predicted.
Contextual confidence can be held, that the predicted positive outcome will result within context of known experimental evidence. The context can be specified to the detail of factors which affect the outcome, to provide contextual confidence. The factors of the context can include the factor of: “current knowledge”, which allows a potential lack of current knowledge, to still produce confidence.
Someone can be aware of their lack of current knowledge, and make a predicted outcome, based on the context, which includes the factor of; their comprehended lack of knowledge. In this situation, they can have “contextual confidence” that they are making the best prediction, based on the context of current knowledge.
