    The goal here is to make probable inferences, not to avoid being wrong at any cost. There’s always more possibilities, but we should try to eliminate the likely-seeming ones before chasing down less-likely ones. Know what I mean?

    The possibilities are as vast as our ignorance: greater than we have the means to measure by some indescribably large margin.
