Re: Proportionality of Evidence

I agree, Nocturne. There's a relativity of extraordinariness based on personal context. But does the claim still hold? Given that X is extraordinary for a person whom we're seeking to convince of X, should the extent of evidence to support X be proportional to X's extraordinariness?

Thanks,
Jordan
