I observe that the lexemes 'actuality' and 'possibility' are lexicographically equivalent for other worlds, because no speaker of English is able to identify a difference between them. You are incorrectly assuming that 'actuality' for universes has some well-defined criteria and that I'm just relying on the fact that we don't or can't know whether a given other universe satisfies those criteria. That's not my position at all. Rather, I'm saying that no such criteria have been identified. You still show utterly no sign of even beginning to grasp the distinction I'm making here. I just paraphrased your argument; I defy you to try to paraphrase mine. I don't think you can. -- brian@holtz.org http://humanknowledge.net
