I must be getting old -- I just realized that Postrado's distinction between 'intellen' and 'naturen' is based on an argument from ignorance.
It specifically requires that we not only know of one solution to a problem, but that we know that there can only ever be one solution. That multiple solutions are not merely not known but are inherently impossible.
So whether a person can properly distinguish 'intellen' from 'naturen' depends on how much they know -- not on the characteristics of the items under consideration.
That's really all it takes to demolish the foundation of Edgar's claims.
Not that he'll acknowledge it or realize it, of course. Nor do the honorable thing as per dazz's request.
