Jad Elmourad addressed criticism #5590.
#5590·Dennis HackethalOP, 3 days agoI don't see why HTV failing to distinguish two good explanations before we have the knowledge that distinguishes them means it's unrelated to truth.
Because it doesn’t help us form a preference in a factual matter like the Pop-Tart question. HTV is not involved.
I'm not sure it's clear what you mean by this.
Are you saying the process I've outlined doesn't work for a factual matter like the Pop-Tarts question? If so, I've explained in #5586 and #5562 how facts and new knowledge change the problem situation and what explanations and variations we accept.
If, on the other hand, you're saying that this process does work, but that not all of it should be called HTV, then I think that's the same point you were making in #5585, which I'm fine with.
