That’s interesting… Did you actually count sheep and rocks when writing this article?
Did the character you give voice to count sheep and rocks?
Usually, when I make this kind of arguments, what I really say is “If I counted 2 sheep and 3 sheep, I would find 5 sheep” which means that it actually is what I expect, but that’s not evidence if my cognition process is put into question.
Yet, I don’t think it is necessary to actually count sheep and rocks when making this argument… But if I was discussing with someone who thought that 2 + 3 = 6 (or someone who thinks that either answer is meaningless), then it would be necessary to make the experiment, because we would expect different results.
