Then you are flatly incorrect? That's literally not anything like how truth is defined. And I'm afraid it isn't statistically-ironclad...

Semantics. And, as a result, we're done here. I'm not continuing this conversation with you.

You...don't. That's the whole point. If you don't want to use them, don't. Nobody is making you. That's why 5e as it exists does not...

That...doesn't follow. Like you've made it circular for one thing (statistical modeling can evaluate its own ability to evaluate...

It is important to me. That doesn't mean I will be unhappy if I don't get it. That's literally the argument I'm disputing here.

And where is the empirical justification of using mathematics for this purpose? If there is no such empiricial justification, then...

In having a personal first choice, how can it not be a compromise? I wrote what I wrote for a reason...

IMO, the disconnect is clearly either in the pitch, or in the thing being pitched. It's not the game's fault that your current and/or...

No. I am arguing with people who have--repeatedly, now--asserted that science is the one and only way one can ascertain truths...

No. It isn't. Science absolutely does not work perfectly 100% of the time. This is objectively and provably false. Again: Lysenkoism in...

The assessment of the doubt may involve probability theory--but that isn't science, it's mathematics, which is built on logic, not on...

Science has nothing to verify either! The criterion of verification is the key problem of logical positivism--which is as dead as a...

Indeed, science is intended to be approached with humility. Without humility there is doctrine which cannot be questioned, which is the...

Then science is the same. It is at best a guess and unverifiable. After all, Newton was flatly wrong. His laws are lies. And yet we...
