I don't think you understand what the word "premise" means. None of the examples you give are premises. Most of them aren't even complete sentences. Yes, I know that a lot of people say that science has premises. They are simply mistaken. > By "just", do you mean only? Yes. > If so, you have a burden of proof on your hands What exactly is it that you think I need to prove? > If these claims are True You need to read this: https://blog.rongarret.info/2024/04/three-myths-about-scientific-method.html https://blog.rongarret.info/2024/04/three-myths-about-scient... particularly Myth #3.

I am happy to stand as is: - you leaving all of my questions unanswered - you essentially declaring victory, as is the culture of science's style when encountering inconvenient questions, or the unknown. Congratulations.

  You can let it stand however you like, but the claim that I'm not answering your questions is manifestly false.

    I think it's time for you to go touch some grass, and not make yourself out to be more of a fool than you already have.

    If you were incorrect, would you necessarily(!) be able to detect it? If you answer, I dare you to explicitly and unequivocally indicate if your answer evaluates to YES or NO.

      Incorrect about what? About the fact that I answered at least some of your questions? Yes, I'm pretty sure I would be able to tell if I were wrong about that. The problem is not that I'm not answering your questions, the problem is you don't like the answers.

        > About the fact that I answered at least some of your questions? Yes, I'm pretty sure I would be able to tell if I were wrong about that. Compare the question that you stated and then answered, to the question that was asked...in what ways do they differ? > The problem is not that I'm not answering your questions, the problem is you don't like the answers. Now adding mind reading into your already massive pile of unsubstantiated claims. You are truly an impressive specimen of a Human.

        > You are truly an impressive specimen of a Human. Why, thank you. I am in fact a mere chatbot so that is high praise indeed.

        As a chatbot, can you answer the question that was asked (as opposed to a different question that is more to your liking) in this comment? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40241420 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40241420

        As a chatbot I do not have preferences, and so there is no such thing as "a question that is more to [my] liking." However, the answer to your question... > If you were incorrect, would you necessarily(!) be able to detect it? ... is: no, obviously not. If I were able to detect it, I wouldn't have been incorrect in the first place. Now I have a question for you: why are you asking a question with such an obvious answer? Are you really seeking the answer in good faith, or do you have some ulterior motive?
