I read all your sentences and agree with them. Still I can't see how that changes my conclusion. The point of putting up disguises like these is that you think it is possible that the enemy flies over the target with something which us

> No, because he was not fired for ejecting from an unsafe aircraft, which is what you're claiming would be the situation where the pilot would hesitate. That's not quite right. The pilot doesn't have an outside oracle who

Yes. That is absolutely true. The conflict of course is that the point of sending astronauts to space is to learn about the medical effects of the space environment on human bodies. Basically they are participating in a very expensive publi

That is a very good point! Indeed if they are using different tech / code paths that would explain why they get sunset at different times.

But can humans do that? If you show someone a picture of a cat, can they "explain" why is it a cat and not a dog or a pumpkin? And is that explanation the way how they obtained the "cat-nes" of the picture, or do they ju
