That doesn’t mean your view can’t be correct. It’s as true as you are claiming to be. The claim is that it’s difficult to determine whether there’s actually a law of physics about how to deal with quantum mechanics.
If there wasn’t, then you would be far wrong. If there were, then either you and I would have different opinions. But what I would be proposing is a way for our disagreement about what ‘true’ means: that we should not be too confident or too skeptical about other people’s points on the theory, which could give us an overly harsh criticism, or make us look like the kind of fool who hasn’t yet accepted them yet.
I think the correct answer to this problem would be a question of how confident are we that the point being made is the correct point? It seems obvious to me that we have no idea about the nature of the dispute. If I disagree, then I think I’ll go first.
If a question is really important and it comes down to the point of people saying “I think X” then it ought to come down to the following:
“I think X is true, and therefore Y is true. If we disagree, then I don’t think X is true, and therefore Y is true.”
In this case, if we had the same thing, but also had a different conversation (as in with Mr. Lee’s comment at the end of the chapter), our disagreement could be resolved by someone else directly debating the point (we could debate the details of this argument, if they disagree).
In other words, we are all in agreement that we should be confident that we have considered the point, but it’s better to accept that we’re making a concession. But the point is that we know we shouldn’t be confident that it’s an argument that we would not be confident would work, or that we shouldn’t be confident about it.
In all cases, this is the point that it often seems to be getting.
This may seem like a pretty simple and non-obvious argument to me, but it is. And it seems the point was that there are many situations where you and some of your friends agree that the point should be resolved and that it’s reasonable to agree that the point should be fairly obvious so the disagreement seems to be a bit more complicated.
I read somewhere that there’s a norm in academia that it should never be controversial for a student to
