@St_Rev well, yeah, that's why it's interesting :) -
@St_Rev in practice we're hardly ever in a position to actually observe all the potentiallyrelevant variables -
@St_Rev so it helps to put some thought into how to proceed in the face of that (if there is in fact any way forward, which isn't assumed) -
@St_Rev for example what do we do with the knowledge-claim "plants turn brown" if there are no plants to look at?
