I mostly wanted to point it out because I could see that explanation confusing someone in a debate. It just sounded a lot like what my Epistemology professor used as an example when we were talking about induction. Because it's easy to say the sun will rise every day because it always has, and it's technically correct. Problem is people try to apply that sort of reasoning to things that wouldn't make sense.
Actually after I posted I then re-read over what I wrote and what you wrote and actually stared at the post for a while.
I honestly agree with what you said.
Thankyou for pointing this out to me.
I'd also be happy for other constructive criticisms at any time (ie other posts you ever see)
I understand that some do take offense (or defense as I have quickly done incorrectly) to such things. But in reality I enjoy learning. Sometimes it takes me a few minutes to see the light though! So bare with me on that.
