First of all, "more likely" or "less likely" is often useful with no numbers. Second, all this isn't an issue of probability logic itself, but of the fact that you can't model everything. Every formalization is a model and, thus, an approximation. "The map is not the territory".

As long as you don't forget that the world and its model are not the same thing, you can continue doing useful things. Literally all of science is about constructing models, finding where a model breaks, and making a new, more exact one. This process is infinite, yet useful.
