keiths aren't those the sorts of auxiliary hypotheses that MissingShadeOfBlue mentioned?  

I'm not sure what that means to the "paradox" but i think part of the "paradox" is in the notion of a hypothesis as a singular sort of entity that stands alone to be falsified or supported.  

all hypotheses are networks of statements supported by auxiliary statements

are there any other similar examples you can conceive where the true number or proportion of objects N in that universe is irrelevant?
