Asking whether the pill-takers are "right" is, in Eliezer's terminology, like asking if x = 0, where x is simply defined to be the real number 8.1939.. etc: it's false in an obvious way. Nothing is right, except what Eliezer has in mind when he writes lists of values followed by "..."

That number could be given the name 'right', but right then has all other meaning stripped away from it. More importantly, the choice of number seems to be arbitrary.

Constants like e and pi are definable in terms of certain important properties that we discovered through analysis of problems that are often important in real-life situations. What makes right a special number in the same way that e and pi are special?
