It preserves justification as well. If there are good reasons to believe p then there are good reasons to believe p ? q. How could it be any other way...

No it's not. His claim is that J(p) ? J(p ? q). He then says that Smith believes p ? q.

Once you've tested it with the numbers you can substitute back in the ordinary terms: If p is probable then ¬p is not probable If p is probable then p...

Well, the use of "probably" and "improbably" isn't very useful. Try replacing it with percentages, where (for example) "probably" is ">= 75%" and "imp...

There's that damn overflow again.

Yep.

It's called overflow.

Everything that you say is stupid.

Case in point: I'm at work right now.

I think the low conscientiousness score is a little misleading. I said I don't stick to my plans, but then my plans involve quitting my job and becomi...

See my edit. I don't vote, so I don't have a mind to make up. ;) Although seeing as how one of the MPs won the vote by just 2 votes earlier this year,...

You Are Low in Openness to Experience You Are Low in Conscientiousness You Are Low in Extraversion You Are Moderate in Agreeableness You Are Low in Ne...

I can relate.

Is anyone (except Einstein)?

Passive aggressive indirect insults are wrong, Sapientia. Why won't you think of the children?

Bloody hell, what's with all my typos?

No, I'm suggesting you have Asperger's, remember?

Sapientia, I said that Wosret's soon-to-be boyfriend is gay, not Wosret. What are you? Some kind of idiot?

That I am.

The guy at your work isn't like that.

Yeah, I've bitten off more than I can chew here.

I have no wit to spare. How else am I to compete with Hanover and Sap?

Ah, thought you were referring to Hanover and Sap.

Who's the third?

I think @"Posty McPostface" wants to give @"Hanover" his number and have some of that libertarian debauchery.

It's called a football.

Ha. Although he would have said it apropos of nothing.

Wosret and Posty McPostface are two different people.

I'm bi-odegradable.

Don't you have Asperger's or something?

We should have a wager. Was it just politeness, did he actually want to meet up again, or was he hitting on him? Wosret will of course have to phone t...

That's not an apt comparison. I said short of using actors. So given a choice between a magician performing an impressive sleight of hand trick and a ...

Buy into what? He doesn't claim to have any sort of supernatural power. It's sold as misdirection and sleight of hand and cold reading and the like, s...

I don't really get what your issue with him is.

I hope Hanover says the same, although knowing him he'll respond with graphic detail.

Looks like it worked.

Because he picks them by throwing frisbees or balls with his eyes closed and stuff like that. Unless he has some supernatural aim and can have it land...

Never been to or seen a live show? There's no way he could use actors.

What bullshit?

How can you upstage yourself?

That's a parody account.

It was hardly much of a change. My first example was "I can distinguish one person from another but not know that one of them was your wife". I can di...

Went to a Svengali show a few years ago. He's great. I don't think I've seen the latest three (definitely not Secret), so I'll have to have look this ...

Oh. That's pretty much a truism, isn't it?

What do you mean by this? If I have evidence that there's a cup in my cupboard then this is consistent with the claim that you're man and with the cla...

I just mean it in the sense that I might see two people standing next to each other but not know that they're husband and wife.

I was just referring to the part that one's colour language shapes one's colour perception. I assume he meant it in the sense that I can distinguish o...

I believe he's referring to the study referenced here.

More like as jovial as a dead parrot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vuW6tQ0218
