# This is a test.
# This main function takes in a hypothesis String, then:
# 1.) Generalizes the hypothesis by removing all extraneous words.
# 2.) Determines the hypothesis' focus.
# 3.) Every fifth time, calls Confirmation Bias function to prompt explanations for hypothesis.
#     Change its boolean value to swap for/against evidence questions each time it is called.
# 4.) Call Anchoring Bias function each time.
# 5.) Print both prompts.
