So when you are in an art gallery and overhear someone saying that a picture is beautiful, you would assess that person is likely stating a truth if you agree and no one else was there. I don't see how you got that out of what I said. ![[Image: extraordinarywoo-sig.jpg]](https://i.postimg.cc/zf86M5L7/extraordinarywoo-sig.jpg) RE: Beauty, Morality, God, and a Table

Just going by our ability to completely fail - I'd say there's a fair chance that all 40 of them are wrong...somehow...but I wouldn't want to have to do any math.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I dont see how you don't see. I suspect I'm simply out of my depth here. We will likely have to park this aside for now, my brain simply isn't getting what you're saying it seems.

The odds of the seven people being wrong is less than the odds of the three people being wrong, so the three people are the most likely to be wrong. I know nothing about sports, so using the principle of insufficient reason I assign equal probabilities to the Cowboys/Patriots game. Bookies clean up. |
