Abstract: The focus of these brief comments is to argue that Bayes's theorem may have conceptual and pedagogical applications for qualitative analysis. We suggest that the theorem is a salient alternative voice for the development of sensitizing concepts. If is also proposed that the theorem is a useful heuristic for raising deep-structure issues such as the nature of qualitative evidence and how such evidence becomes confirming for a given claim.
