If everything P has asserted in the past has been shown to be false and now P asserts A then you can conclude that A is probably, although not certainly, also false. That's why most intelligent people wouldn't accept medical advice from somebody who in the past has asserted that vaccines are made from space alien sperm to make people less religious, and ovarian cysts are caused by woman dreaming about having sex with deamons. But Trump is fine with taking such advice because Trump is not intelligent. John K Clark -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
