The problem with this is that there are a nearly infinite number of hypotheses to explore, and we can't examine them all. So we need some kind of criteria, even something as simple as k-complexity (for hypotheses) or ease of use (for models and methodologies). A good exploration of this idea can be found in chapter 7 of this introductory book.
