That's what I would expect most mathematical-existence types to think. It's true, but it's also the wrong thought.
Wei, do you see it now that I've pointed it out? Or does anyone else see it? As problems in philosophy go, it seems like a reasonable practice exercise to see it once I've pointed to it but before I've explained it.
Perhaps, but irrelevant, because I'm not what you would call a mathematical-existence type.
ETA: The point is that you can't be confident about what thought stands behind the sentence "Pearl's causal networks can be encoded in ZFC" until you have some familiarity with how the speaker thinks. On what basis do you claim that familiarity?
