pdf23ds, I’m not sure we’re really disagreeing about anything here. I would naturally define a doubt in exactly the way you seem to suggest. But if you use it that way, then the two points of Eliezer’s I took issue with in my first comment don’t seem to follow. I took Eliezer’s response as attempting to find an alternative definition on which they did follow, and then pointed out that the alternative definition he seemed to be offering didn’t make sense. Maybe I misunderstood something along the way here, but I’m certainly not arguing for that definition myself.
