Re: More on rational deference
Chez,
[ QUOTE ] The thing I find strange is that that's more or less what I always thought he was saying. [I put is as, if you believe R and the experts say no its R' then you shouldn't automatically believe R' but should lose belief in R. [/ QUOTE ] If David is right about nothing else he is virtually right if not 100% right about this, chez “You make things so complicated.” I didn’t see your small #1 (or apostrophe) after the other R at first. I had to read it a few times, then I saw it(was my fault) . Use of another symbol or another letter would have made things “less complicated”. I guess you might have to come up with another syllogism that I can help you edit - just for practice with editing for the reader's sake. Best regards, RJT

Re: More on rational deference
I read R' as R prime. Which was a better fit for this deabte than ~R, which I read as not R.

Even if I was familiar with the r prime and other (I can’t type it) at one time, I have forgotten it. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img] Like I said, it was my error. But I look forward to more posts from chez as I do for the forum in general.
