Ian C., do you know for sure, before evaluating this kind of evidence, whether the problem is simple like you seem to think a hammer is, or complicated like you seem to think wine is? I had thought that wine is simpler as its functionality is a matter of taste, while hammers’ functionality is something that exists in some sense outside my first impression of it. (It may be hammering in the nails all crooked-like or something, and perhaps I don’t notice bur everyone else does.) What mistake am I making?
Botogol, why not say that I have misestimated either the going rate, or what quality a hammer it is. (If I think it is steel, but it is cast-iron, that doesn’t mean I have misestimated the going rate for steel hammers; it means I don’t have one.)
Caledonian, I have no idea what that means, but I’m sure it’s very profound. I would greatly appreciate it if you or anyone else would explain it.
