[MD] Probability

[Case]

Platt said,
"One might as well cite the Church as an authority on truth"
[Ian]
Remember Platt - Reason is a church too. No-one has actual "authority"
just different ways of believing.

I'm close to giving up on you (again) - people spend valuable effort
explaining their views to you, but you never show the slightest
inkling of building on even the very few points where you might agree
- and your only response to that criticism is gain-saying (see your
thread with Case). Playing devil's advocate is a rhetorical stance, no
human could be that dumb, no flatworm could for that matter.

[Case]
I know little about flatworms, Ian, but I read this to an aquarium full of
fish and not one seemed to disagree...

OK, suppose there actually were an "Absolute Truth." Whatever is actually
"known" about it has to be experienced or at least explained to everyone,
everywhere. Will this communion with Absolute Truth affect all individuals
equality or might some react to it differently than others? Because at the
point that even two among you might disagree, truth becomes relative. 

------------------------------
But my original point was not about Absolute Truth or even probability. It
was about Uncertainty. I maintain that uncertainty is a fundamental property
of reality; formally so in the domains of physics and mathematics. ZMM
Pirsig said Quality is undefined. I am adding that when something is
undefined some aspect of it remains uncertain. This uncertainty is Quality.
