Quote (Seversky @ April 10 2011,09:47) | KF continues to ignore PKB (pot/kettle/black) in his discussion of dating methods: Let us remind ourselves of KFs definition of hyperskepticism: Quote | Selective Hyperskepticism: that fallacy which seeks to reject or dismiss otherwise credible evidence by demanding an inappropriately high type or degree of warrant not applicable to matters of fact, i.e. the general type of question being discussed. Especially, where the same standard is not exerted in assessing substantially parallel cases that make claims that one is inclined to accept. |
