doctrine
Definition
Widely adhered-to principle or rule based on strong evidence and/or sound reasoning. In comparison, 'dogma' is supported as a mere claim, or is imposed by a fiat usually in defiance of evidence to the contrary, or without the corroborating facts. Opposing parties usually label their own assertions a doctrine, and those of the opponents a dogma.
