tacticalogic: The great thing about the "observer problem" seems to be that since we're all "observers", it can be invoked at any time against anyone, with regards to any argument.

tacticalogic: It seems to be generally agreed that dogma isn't subject to the "observer problem"

It seems rather that you need to make up your mind and follow through.

I put the question to you earlier with regards to whether dogma was immune to the problem and you seemed to think that was an accurate assesment. The ubiquity of the "observer problem" with regards to observation doesn't seem to be in question.

So far all I've done is try and clarify exactly what the terms being used mean and how they're being applied.

I'd like to get the ducks more or less in a row before I make up my mind if that's alright with you.
