The positive direction is observed when the shared feature and the judgment are both present.
Imagine a particular electrical circuit where closing the switch lights a bulb. Repeating the procedure provides positive observations. But the result also depends on power, wiring, and a working bulb.
Thus seeing the closed switch and illuminated bulb together reveals an association under specified conditions; it does not on its own establish a complete causal explanation.
