Question

A patient named Don Thump has diagnosed with acute foot-in-mouth disease and was prescribed a cream. Being the skeptic that he is, Don didn't believe that the cream would help his symptoms even though the researcher of this disease claims it will make a significant improvement. However after a couple of months of application Don decides that the cream is working since he is sticking his foot in his mouth less often.

Write the hypotheses in words for Don’s skeptical position when he started applying the cream.

Which hypothesis has Don decided to support?
