- satisfice 5y agoIf you can’t rule something out because it goes against everything else we know, then you can’t rule anything out, ever, for any reason. If you don’t respect consistency and prior probability, then causality itself breaks down, and I’m wondering how exactly do you feed yourself and cross streets safely. Unless you know perfectly well how reasoning works and you just don’t apply that when you comment on science articles.
