> We can't really know Precisely my point! We can't really know with absolute certainty, but we can make pretty good informed gambles with the data we have now. Statistics is a branch of math, and it is ideal to give approximate answers when data is uncertain. It is still hard data, even if incomplete. We can't wait for Philosophy to finally agree what consciousness is in an abstract world while we have to deal with a real, multilayered world. WE WILL NEVER BE CERTAIN, WE CAN'T REALISTICALLY WAIT UNTIL WE ARE.
