两个医学研究人员在不同的医院独立使用相同的治疗方法。一个已经事先决定,因为资源有限,他将诊治N=100例后即停止,观察到许多治愈情况。另一个则决定直到有数据表明治愈率肯定超过60%,而可能需要有很多病人时才停止。但事实上,两者都以完全相同的数据停止:n = 100 [患者],r = 70 [治愈]。那么我们应该从他们的实验中得出不同的结论吗?”

13.15.18.14.9.14.7.0.19.20.1.18 ≠ 5.22.5.14.9.14.7.0.19.20.1.18
金句:
Similarly, the notion of truth is quite different from the notion of reality. Saying "true" compares a belief to reality. Reality itself does not need to be compared to any beliefs in order to be real. Remember this the next time someone claims that nothing is true.
