Stating a hypothesis is becoming a common procedure in geographic writing, but the meaning and function of the term “hypothesis” have a wide array of interpretations. Some geographers use the term to pose fairly specific, directional relationships between phenomena, others use it to state more general relationships, and still others equate it with question, explanation, conclusion, contention, assumption, and model. This confused state of affairs is interpreted as the result of scientific faddism and pretentiousness
