I'm going to offer $1,000 to anyone who can present in support of SLOOP, either empirical evidence or a valid deductive logical argument.

You might consider making your offer much more precise, specifying in advance exactly what sort of evidence you would find convincing. Do you really mean any evidence? Even if the SLoOP isn't the best model of reality, there could still be probabilistic evidence that favors the SLoOP over some rival theories.
