If every waterfall you observe is the product of man, and you never observe a waterfall which is not the product of man, then you can conclude that all waterfalls are the product of man. That conclusion will stand until you at least come across a water fall that can't be the product of man, or observe one coming into existence not as the product of man.
The fuck I don't understand. Go back to page 94 and look again at your post #944. My waterfall example perfectly represents the argument you're making.
You're backtracking now, but you're argument still doesn't work. We dug the Panama Canal so I'm quite confident we can re-route a river to a nearby cliff if we wanted to. Does this mean that Niagra and other falls must be man-made? That's now your argument and it's still ridiculous.
