I'll just add this tidbit on probability.
If I give you seven independent pieces of evidence that point to the same conclusion, but there's a 9/10 chance I'm wrong about each piece of evidence individually, it's still better odds I'm right. Why? 1.0 * 0.9 = 0.9 1.0 * 0.9 * 0.9 = 0.81 1.0 * 0.9 * 0.9 * 0.9 = 0.729 1.0 * 0.9 * 0.9 * 0.9 * 0.9 = 0.6561 1.0 * 0.9 * 0.9 * 0.9 * 0.9 * 0.9 = 0.59049 1.0 * 0.9 * 0.9 * 0.9 * 0.9 * 0.9 * 0.9 = 0.531441 1.0 * 0.9 * 0.9 * 0.9 * 0.9 * 0.9 * 0.9 * 0.9 = 0.4782969 That's the power of bringing lots of evidence to bear. | ||
