Well, duh. You're right, the post was pretty clear about this. I need to read more carefully. So does he believe that the second condition is both necessary and sufficient? That seems prone to a bunch of counterexamples also.

So, he claims that it is just a necessary condition - not a sufficient one. I didn't reach the point where he offers the further conditions that, together with high probability, are supposed to be sufficient for evidential support.

p.s: still, you earned a point for the comment =|
