Don't you just love these amateur philosophers who attack systems that they
themselves use every day of their lives? Luke Reimer lives his life each
day in accordance with the "generalities" that he has induced from his own
experiences and observations and the experiences and observations of others,
past and present. He will not accept my challenge to bet on the behavior of
marbles dropped from a 10-story building because he knows it would be the
height of stupidity to gamble against what empiricism tells him will happen
when marbles are dropped. He wouldn't dare drive a car at high speed into a
stone wall on the chance that this just might be the one time when matter
does not behave as it has done in the past. Desperation resulting from an
inability to give reasonable evidence for the existence of his big spook in
the sky is the primary reason why he spends so much time riding this little
hobby horse of his. When one has no reasonable evidence, he can always
muddy the water with far-fetched philosophical scenarios.
