Oddbean new post about login | logout as in, inside your hypothetical, what is making it achieve the state of definitive? definitive to whom? the process was what to ensure definitive? definitive with what degree of confidence & whose degree?
scientifically speaking & respectfully meant, a scientist using the scientific method would never have a resting assumption that something, especially a presumption like that, could be made
the equivalent of a child finding a single egg during a local town's easter egg hunt & declaring all the eggs found when there are other children picking up eggs as we speak & the town would never host an easter egg hunt to hide only a single one in the grass for one child 😭
conclusion: very odd hypothetical, not composed by a scientist, or, respectfully meant, a logical person, cos the logic does not follow
