Default Re: I\'m Technically Wrong On One Aspect of My Debate With Txaq

the existence of those other books DOES lower the probability that my theories are correct.

I agree with you that as a math question only this is true about any theory.

Look at these two statements from the same paragraph:

[ QUOTE ]

And I can't wiggle out of that fact by alluding to any mentions by me of detractors

myriad detractors is a LEGITIMATE objection, that an outsider can bring up and they must meet the objection to HIS satisfaction.

The first is basically the math question. The second is what Tx and I are saying. So you do see the difference. Though I techniclly disagree with "HIS satisfaction" and would repace it with "valid reason".

And I guess it is all a fine point. Content trumps math.
