How many rationalists does it take to screw in a lightbulb? Three.
One to calculate a confidence interval for the torque necessary to secure a bulb without shattering it, starting from Newtonian priors and updating based on research into the yield strength of glass.
One to run a cost/benefit analysis on future electricity usage vs. the black-swan risks associated with insufficient lighting (those darn feathery ninjas...)
One to be genuinely surprised that the burnt-out bulb is still hot.
