No, it is not ambiguity of language.
This is a big call to make, seeing as English is not your native language. As a native English speaker, I find it very ambiguous as to which set of probabilities I should be counting.
- nadam 15y agoI meant that the paradoxical nature is not resolved by simply formalizing the statement into first order logic the following way: "I have 2 children. Exists child where (Born_on_tuesday(child) and Boy(child))." (Some other paradoxes completely disappear when you try to write the statement into first order logic. It is not the case here.) This is what I wanted to say.
- demallien 15y agoYou see, the problem is that even your latest attempt to describe the question is ambiguous - the solution depends on how 'I' was selected. And if ever you describe that in a non-ambiguous manner, I suspect that the answer would no longer seem paradoxial. In other words, ambiguity in language is at the very heart of this problem.
