You are not understanding what Bob is saying. He is not saying that Tom's
conclusion is wrong. He is saying that Tom's experiment does not *prove* Tom's
claim. Tom's conclusion may be correct. Tom's experiment may *support* his
conclusion. However, it doesn't *prove* his conclusion to be correct.

To illistrate the difference, here is an example. I'll make a claim.

"On my computer, TSCP runs at 331Knps and Fritz runs at 1002Knps. Therefore
Fritz will win a match against TSCP."

Now Bob will reply, "Your experiment does not support your conclusion." He is
not saying that my conclusion is wrong. In fact he will probably agree that my
conclusion is correct, but his opinion would be based on other experiments which
have been repeated many times, not the data which I presented above.
