Unfortunately, evolution didn’t equip us with very good priors for how much weight to give to unimagined hypotheses, so we end up normalizing the posterior distribution by only those hypotheses we can think of
..and any effort to push against that, to assign more probability to the unknown hypotheses, is an effort in the direction of modest epistemology.
