Wouldn't the failure to recognize be more like the cause of why so many people believe that it is a knowable fact that there are no ghosts (and various other "supernatural" phenomena)?
- picture 2y agoAre any facts knowable? Besides the fact that something exists, in some shape or form, at this particular moment, that allows the thought about this to happen.
- BugsJustFindMe 2y agoAlso that, yes. But I do see a space where the authors (and subsequent article writers) recognizing and acknowledging the limitations of proof would help them frame their arguments in such a way that they ultimately convince more people of not having seen actual ghosts.
- krzat 2y agoIt's knowable in a sense that hallucination/scam is vastly more probable than an actual ghost (or any other supernatural phenomena). If there is a mistake in common knowledge, it's the belief that hallucinations/delusions happen only to mentally ill people or on drugs.
