I believe 0 and 1 are probabilities, but there is no way to obtain that degree of certainty. (unless you have an incredibly clever method you aren’t sharing, which is mean)
An analogy would be that I believe that 3^^^3 is a number, even though I don’t think I will ever have that many dollars. Similarly, I believe that 0 and 1 are probabilities, but I wouldn’t grant any particular belief a probability of 0 or 1.
I’d like to point out that anyone who does not share the (claimed) Infinite Certainty should be upvoting, as this confidence level is infinitely higher than any other possible confidence level. (It’s kind of like, if you agree that dividing by zero is merely an error, then any claim to infinite certainty is also an error, almost exactly the same error in fact.)
Upvoted not for the claim, but the ridiculously high confidence in that claim.
Are you saying that you probably agree that 0 and 1 are probabilities, but my claim is not one of the things you would assign a probability of 1 to?

My intention was to make a stronger claim than the one you agree with, but fortunately my degree of confidence takes care of that for me.
