If you cannot see the fault in that and believe it is comparable to the sun example, then you are beyond hope. However, I have suspected as much for quite a long time.
Did I say it was comparable? So far, all you do is point out that his conclusions cannot be absolute, which no one disagrees with, but that nevertheless we draw the conclusion, and that was the purpose of the example, as I in fact think you know. You are manufacturing a disagreement with Robot for your own purposes, and God knows what they are. If anyone thinks Robot's conclusions can be upset, they are free to do so. We've been waiting for a long time.

You also forget what Robot said about comparing what cables can do with what people can hear, PC. I told you haven't grasped his argument, and you haven't! You simply ignore those parts inconvenient for your exposition.

You seem to have no idea how science works, PC. According to you, Newton was wrong to come up with a universal Law of Gravitation. After all, he couldn't possibly have established it worked reasonably well for more than a miniscule part of the universe, a tiny, tiny proportion. Indeed, I understand some are now trying to find out how accurate it really is. Does gravity really obey the Inverse Square Law? Newton couldn't measure nearly as accurately as we can today. Nevertheless, the Law of Gravity has stood the test of time pretty well.
