Title: The Laplace Principle
Post by: Erik Narramore on February 04, 2022, 06:16:03 AM
Robert W. Boutflour, Jnr. maintained to the jury that he measured his wealth in friends, not 'LSD'.  I don't accept that.  On the other hand, I must say that the idea he, or any other family member, would frame Jeremy is an extraordinary claim and must meet Laplace's principle, or rather, Carl Sagan's rewording of Laplace:

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence

- known as the Sagan standard.

The Laplace principle is not insurmountable, though.
