1)The first pile sparked debate many many years ago.it continues today,unresolved.
2)the other piles have been brought to the threads attention many many months ago,the same problem,unresolved.
3)the anti2lot hypothesis about the unresolvedness remains unresolved.
4)the piles exist.
5) the whole class of piles exist and are still coming into existance.
6)there is not a single unusual thing in the first half of the hypothesis,only the 2nd half declaring a 2lot violation.
So according to you:

1) Anything at all which people debated a long time ago and people debate today means the premise is highly likely to be true.
2) Anything at all which people talk about on this thread but have not definitively disproved in this thread is highly likely to be true.
3) Anything at all which challenges some law of science is highly likely to be true.
4) Anything at all which someone claims has been built and claims to operate in some way absolutely validates any and all claims about their operation.
5) Is just another case of 4)
6) Anything at all involving a hypothesis where some part is not unusual is highly likely to be true.

Is this correct?

No sarkeizen: 1)any simple battery in existance which people debated a long time ago and still debate today means usuality won't do and unusual more likely true.2)anything related to number 1 which was discussed on this thread many months ago but was not number 1 but created the same political vaccuum as number 1 means unusual more likely true.3)anything which sensibly challenges an already challenged law to fill the political vaccuum created by 1 and 2 is more likely to be likely.4)anything related to and including number 1 that someone has built and claims to fill the political void of number 1 more than likely should be listened to.5)is just another 4.6) anything which has a half usual hypothesis to fill the unusual political vaccuum created by number 1 is likely to be unusualy usual,ie.a match for number 1 and its effect.   This is correct.

In what sense are you using the term "exist"?  Do you mean a) It has been built and works in exactly the way profitis in his illucid imagination believe it does or b) someone somewhere built something and claims that it works in some particular way?

I mean a piece of gold and a piece of plat shoved into electrolyte in presence of air and sealed off.this created a political vaccuum extending 70years and going on today.means there is no usual explanation.an unusual one necessary mr sarkeizen.

So if something like that had been built but nobody who was debating it knew that. Your principle "If it exists and people have been debating it for a long time makes it highly-likely to be true." would still be true.  Right?

Everyone who was debating it knew it mr sarkeizen.if they didn't know then ofcourse it wouldn't apply because then a piece of enriched uranium shoved in a closed box couldve done same and there wouldve been no debate to begin with.

But people can debate something that hasn't been built.  Right?  Clearly if people had Karpen's design, or notes or had talked to him about the subject or just out-of-the-blue and entirely independently thought such a thing might work.  They could still debate it.  Virtually any aspect of science where true equipoise exists there is debate as to the outcome.   Many of these debates last a very long time.  Just off the top of my head I can think of over 100 such debates in my field alone.

So a debate on the subject is possible even if something hasn't been built.  Right?  However according to you the existence of such debate does not increase the probability of the hypothesis being true.  Right?

Why debate a piece of gold and plat shoved in electrolyte under air and then come to absolute zero consensus conclusion,after 70years @sarkeizen? Why is the subject of the 70year and ongoing debate:'what is fueling the thing' unresolved when galvanic science was and  now is even more fullblown understood? What is fueling the thing @sarkeizen?

So you agree you can debate something for a very long time that has never been built.  Right? Good.  Moving on then...

Now what if someone had, as you say built a device that had "a piece of gold and a piece of platinum shoved into electrolyte in the presence of air and sealed off" and the people debating it knew someone built it but, what if that was ALL they knew.  That is, all that they knew is that someone somewhere claimed to have built such a thing.

Does your rule still apply?  Does the longstanding debate still make your hypothesis highly likely?

that WASN'T ALL THEY KNEW
So, in other words what?  No, it wouldn't make the hypothesis highly likely?  Good to know.

So according to you.  The hypothesis gets more likely if a device has been built and there's a long debate but it's not enough that there's debate and it's not enough that the device has been built and it's also not enough that they know the device has been built.   Therefore you are hiding something about your standard of evidence.

So clearly you think the probability of a hypothesis goes up if some kind of information is communicated to the debaters.  How about you tell me what exactly that is?

Again clearly you think the probability of a hypothesis goes up ONLY if some SPECIFIC information is communicated to the debaters.  How about you tell me what information has to be communicated to the debaters in order for the probability of the hypothesis to be very high?

This doesn't make your standard bad per se...I mean if someone arguing that a medical drug works and knows that there exists fifteen high-quality double-blind placebo controlled large-N studies.   Then sure the probability of their hypothesis being correct becomes very high but a) That would be the case regardless of if someone were opposing the idea or not and b) it seems exceptionally stupid to leave out such a crucial bit of information about how you're judging evidence.

@sarkeizen, profitis has transferred the discussion on Karpen to the thread called KARPEN PILE.


Please post there on Karpen cells, and leave this thread to quentron.


Thanks

Dearest Phillip,

I'm not even posting about Karpen Piles here. If you read the thread you can see I'm talking about standards of evidence and I have actively eschewed talking about Karpen Piles as I am a mathematician not an electrochemist.  The overarching purpose of such a discussion is to judge the evidence for Quenco.  Perhaps the reason that we spend time using profits's pet (stupid) idea as an example is the dearth of posts useful to this end about Quenco.

Please, now that you consider me someone worthy of being addressed by name (albeit in a way rather suspiciously similar to profitis).  Feel free to jump in with your own ideas about hypothesis testing.

Thanks,

sarkeizen.
