Default Re: Spin Off Logic Problem From Genius-Religion Debate
Let's say using independent methods I determine that Y has an n probability of being correct. After recognizing this correlation, I would adjust that upward significantly. The extent would depend on n though - if n is initially .000001, then I might raise go all the way to .05 certainty of Y on this basis. If n is initially .9, then I might go to .95. I don't think I can evaluate the probability of Y being correct solely on the basis of this correlation.
