[QUOTE="public hermit, post: 74607280, member: 421854"] I think that's right. Clifford's principle seems overly stringent. The idea that we should follow the evidence wherever it leads does seem wise. But, sometimes we have to make decisions before all the evidence is in, based on what we believe is true at the moment. As I have been thinking about it, I wonder to what extent Clifford's principle can be based on sufficient evidence. Or is it, perhaps, self-referentially incoherent? [/QUOTE]
