Whoa.
Okay, I'm clearly confused. I was thinking the Doomsday Argument tilted the evidence in one direction, and then the SIA needed to tilt the evidence in the other direction, and worrying about how the SIA doesn't look capable of tilting evidence. I'm not sure why that's the wrong way to look at it, but what you said is definitely right, so I'm making a mistake somewhere. Time to fret over this until it makes sense.
PS: Why are people voting this up?!?
A great principle to live by (aka "taking a stand against cached thought"). We should probably have a post on that.
It seems to be taking time to cache the thought.
