Could I say something like, Alanf wants us to think he refuted a book but he can't even spell the author's name right...

Ok, but what does this have to do with the capital of Italy?

I am new to this stuff but did we not have like 200 years of observations about Newton's theories? How would have a Bayesian adjusted their models here? I use this example as a "we now know better" - Is it the "new" observation that is key?

Where can I learn more about Critical Rationalism?
