Well thats just not correct. Your example is not valid. I am talking epistemology, you are talking statistical philosophy. Which in philosophy can be a dangerous road to go down.
Such as, imagine a lottery with a
billion tickets. Only one will win. You can pick up each and every ticket and say this ticket is not a winner, this ticket is not a winner, this ticket is not a winner, so on and so forth. And for each ticket you have loads of statistical evidence that you are right.... however you are wrong, and one of those tickets is in fact a winner.
But anyway, I promised DTS I would try and keep my posts out of the weeds, so if you would like to discuss this further please email me, or we can take it to the General Section.

I'm currently in the process of writing a book on political, social, and general philosophy.
