BOFH: The Boss gets Grandpa Simpson syndrome

It was the fashion of the day.

And the important thing to remember is that I had onions hanging from my belt.

Plants may be red and yellow in galactic boonies

Even Infinity Won't Guarantee It

Sorry, but your comment, "As far as the infinite expanses of the universe are concerned, a blanket statement of "______ exists" has a 100 per cent chance of being correct." is incorrect.

For instance, suppose the statement is, "As far as the infinite expanses of the universe are concerned, a blanket statement of "Blue Plants exist" has a 100 per cent chance of being correct."

This is not guaranteed. Every single plant in the universe may be green. It's logically possible, therefore the "Blue plants exist" statement does not have a 100 percent chance of existing.

This logical fallacy is very widely distributed, but it's still false.
