JB <<So, in our hypothetical case, you have agreed that if FOUR correspond
on
major details, we have virtual certainty as to those facts;

RS <No, I think it would take more than four.>

Jim: Then we obviously differ on what is reasonable in the world of
experience.

Is it ? After all how do we know that there was no collaboration to get
the stories straight ? Or perhaps they told eachother their stories ? What
happened to the other disciple's ?

Jim: If four eyewitnesses to an event AGREE that the car was blue and the
light was red, this wouldn't be enough for you. Of course, the real world
operates this way all the time, in everything from courthouses to
airports, school rooms to science labs. Not in your world, apparently.

What if these eyewitnesses had been paid of to testify in support of one
of the claimants ? You assume that the witnesses had no reason to lie.
