My last post wasn't very clear, but rather than try to correct it, here is an example of what I meant using multiple statements...

S1 "There is life on Mars."
S2 "There is intelligent life on Mars."
S3 "There is intelligent life on Mars and they know about relativity."

The following condition is satisfied if one is a coherent probabilistic reasoner:

P(S1) > P(S2) > P(S3)

Again, I hope such basic coherency is not outside the scope of what is or will be possible in AI.
