    But let us be careful to avoid oversimplification as in doing so the variety of beings would be rashly diminished. "When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth."

    So... how do you plan to prove that the simplest explanation "A boxer has a choice of drinks, and his corner only bother taping up one bottle." is impossible?

    In fact, how do you plan to demonstrate that this isn't by far the most likely explanation?

    How are you going to show that any other explanation should even be considered, once it is considered how ludicrous they mostly are?

    All this whole thread has done is demonstrate some of the weirder parts of the human psyche, where cognitive dissonance makes the ridiculous seem to be factual. That isn't something to be proud of.

    Occam's razor if used reductio ad absurdum like the manner that you use to construct your viewpoint eliminates some probable explanations. The video itself does not prove the contents of the bottle... as a result it is still permissible to question the contents of the bottle.

    No, it eliminates some improbable ones. There is a vast difference.

    What strawman? I assumed your quote about what is impossible was relevant and not simply unrelated rhetoric. However, if you are now telling me that it was unrelated rhetoric then I will accept your word.

    I asked you to be specific about that strawman, not just repeat your assertion. I am now also asking you to be specific about the appeal to vanity.

    You also didn't concede that the possibilities that I eliminated with Occam's razor were improbable rather than probable.

    Deceit by omission?

    if it isn't illegal, why are they trying to cover up the bottle? there's something with green in almost every fight now.
