Since, afaik, the question has not been answered, let met put forward why it would not be possible. To me, it seems that D Sklansky is too intelligent and too street smart to ever be anything like an ACist! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

It would be no different from positing a benevolent, intelligent god from the experience of life! LOL

I say you're way off, If D.S. had cocktails with Boro, I'd say his odd's of emerging from the meeting an Ac'ist would be greater than 1%. Not even close to what he'd assign the probability of a benevolent, personal, Christian God, that condemns non believers to hell.

LoL, No I don't. It was just a hunch. Obviously you believe that the probability of D.S. believing AC is a prefered system to government is flat out Zero! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img], because I believe his probability assignment of a personal, benevolent, Christian God, that consigns non-believers to hell, is so close to zero as to, for all practical purposes, be zero. That's why I said the two probabilities aren't even close. even if his chances of believing in AC is .000001%, I'd still say that isn't even close than his believing in the other.
