It would be certain that the physicist had isolated a Whorfian tubule if it were concluded by the physicist that

a)the physicist had been looking specifically for Whorfian tubules

b)Whorfian tubules are the only entities of immeasurably small mass with an inside diameter equal to their length

c)the density of what he had isolated was exactly half that of water

d)Whorfian tubules are only found under the conditions that the physicist had duplicated

e)Whorfian tubules were the only entities half the density of water with an immeasurably small mass

a)the physicist had been looking specifically for Whorfian tubules - this is out of scope, what physicist is loking for why should we care about that?

b)Whorfian tubules are the only entities of immeasurably small mass with an inside diameter equal to their length - we don't know whether 'Whorfian tubules are the only entities of immeasurably small mass' from the passage

c)the density of what he had isolated was exactly half that of water - yes we need this to determine if that entity is WT

d)Whorfian tubules are only found under the conditions that the physicist had duplicated - What if any other entity can also be found

e)Whorfian tubules were the only entities half the density of water with an immeasurably small mass - Ok if this is true we don't know whether the entity what physicist caught is has density exactly half that of water?
