The situations are classified as follows:

  • Cats... evidence ... : science.
  • Tyre: bias.

What is science in a claim?

A claim is classified as science if there are experiments, or statistical tests, that prove the claim. In the cats experiment, there is evidence, hence it is science.

What is bias in a claim?

A claim is classified as biased when no experiments are made, the observations are made with the "eye test". One example is watching a NFL game and saying that the team that gets the most passing yards generally wins, without making statistical tests to verify this.

For this problem, the ad for the tire is based on bias, as there were no experiments, just the eye test.
