    What? Flying once doesn’t prove that he can fly. We need repeated testing

      Flies

      Hmm ok so maybe you can fly. Maybe it was a fluke.

      Flies a bunch of times

      We may have a hypothesis here.

      Flies without fail a million times

      Ok we are pretty certain you can fly, let’s call it a theory. But hey, we don’t know the full picture here, let’s leave the possibility open that you can’t fly and we just don’t understand things completely here.

        And it might “just be a fluke” that some lock opened when LPL put a wave rake in it?

          Sounds like a fundamental misunderstanding of the role of uncertainty. But I’m an undereducated dilletant, so I’m not sure I have a solid grasp on the fundamentals either.
