Kerry et al. criticize our discussion of causal knowledge in evidence-based medicine (EBM) and our assessment of the relevance of their dispositionalist ontology for EBM. Three issues need to be addressed in response: (1) problems concerning transfer of causal knowledge across heterogeneous contexts; (2) how predictions about the effects of individual treatments based on population-level evidence from RCTs are fallible; and (3) the relevance of ontological theories like dispositionalism for EBM.
克里等人批评了我们在循证医学（EBM）中对因果知识的讨论，以及我们对他们的倾向主义本体论与循证医学相关性的评估。对此需要回应三个问题：（1）关于因果知识在异质背景下转移的问题；（2）基于随机对照试验（RCT）的群体水平证据对个体治疗效果的预测是如何容易出错的；（3）像倾向主义这样的本体论理论与循证医学的相关性。
