Pardon, I meant given the current evidence. Newton didn’t have that evidence. I thought that was obvious.
And at first I had written “probably foolish” as a hedge, but thought “oh, I hedge the things I say too much, and it makes what I say less pleasant and more difficult to read. I’ll leave it out.”.
By “foolish” I maybe I really meant something closer “probably reasoning incorrectly”.
- dnautics 7y agoThe exact point of my comment is that the evidence is not as strong as claimed in the popular conception, as there has not been independent confirmation via a multimodal technique. To date there has been a single, unreproduced, nonindependent, multimodal observation... A good start, to be sure, but still folks like yourself are saying that it would be foolhardy to merely believe GW.
