I was intuitively tempted to retort a bunch of things about likelyness of exception and information taken into consideration, but I realized before posting that I was actually falling victim to several biases in that train of thought. You’ve actually given me a new way to think of the issue. I’m still of the intuition that any new way to think about it will only reinforce my beliefs and support the S.I. over time, though.
For now, I’m content to concede that I was weighing too heavily on my priors and my confidence in my own knowledge of the universe (on which my posteriors for AI issues inevitably depend, in one way or another), among possibly more mistakes. However, it seems at first glance to be even more evidence for the need of a new mathematical or logical language to discuss these questions more in depth, detail and formality.
That’s a very good point.
