<<However, by showing that other possibilities exist, I have shown that the
logic of the "lord, liar, lunatic" argument is far from compelling. Indeed,
given the array of possibilities, Occam's razor would force us to choose
almost any one except for the "lord" hypothesis.>>
Occam's razor only works with plausible hypotheses. You have not provided any.
You have only made up some things up that have no reasonable link to reality.
I mean, your "eccentricity" argument was, to put it mildly, laughable.
Besides which, Occam's razor has long been called into question in
philosophical circles. Unless one can determine without any doubt that given
assumptions are NOT needed in an explanation, it is impossible to tell with
certainty when the principle can be applied.
The quntilemma demonstrates that only the proposition "Lord" is left when we
operate in the real world.
