Actually just wanting to discuss the rational behind the claim that "extra ordinary claims, require extraordinary evidence". I didn't plan on moving beyond that in the scope of this thread. I don't think it's valid, and wanted to discuss it. There are a couple of people, who I largely agree with, who define it differently from how I normally find it is used. I think it is similar to what I explained, although in a condensed form (not as accurate) but certainly more catchy!
As stated, I normally find this concept it to be ill-defined and inconsistent. And often used as special pleading.
I do have an additional question as well. Do you consider the term "extraordinary" to be used in the same sense in both parts of the claim.
