I know this is Eliezer's line but it still looks like nonsense to me. This experience would be evidence stones have a tendency to spontaneously appear when four stones are put next to each other.

I have a simpler reason that the belief 2+2 = 4 is not blind. When he says he has blind faith because "I can not conceive of a situation that would make 2+2 = 4 false." it is not blind because he is trying to find an alternative rather than entirely avoiding questioning his belief.
