I suppose it's true that such is a little boy game, but us Virian big
boys and girls seek to falsify propositions a la Popper don't we? So a
habit of questioning things very strictly arises as a cultural (and
scientific) value.
It's not at all my intention to spout on about someone I know little
about, but my understanding, gleaned from this list, is that the above
is more or less correct?
Talking of which, what happened to Popper for Saint?
Sounds like a racing certainty.
Warm regards
