JB <<So, in our hypothetical case, you have agreed that if FOUR correspond on
major details, we have virtual certainty as to those facts;

RS <No, I think it would take more than four.>

Then we obviously differ on what is reasonable in the world of experience. If
four eyewitnesses to an event AGREE that the car was blue and the light was
red, this wouldn't be enough for you. Of course, the real world operates this
way all the time, in everything from courthouses to airports, school rooms to
science labs. Not in your world, apparently.

JB <Are you ready for the next step?

RS <No, you still haven't passed the first one.>

And it will always be so with you, I guess. Through the door of reasonable
inference you refuse to step. That's a choice, and you've made it. We can't go
further.
