"You're learning."
"So I think what I should do right now is write down a problem set to think over for tomorrow under Fox's Cunning, later and after resting if you're mentally fatigued right now, so the staff Fox's Cunnings for today don't go to waste due to my failure to frontload them. People who ended up in the Holding Cell are forbidden to discuss this problem with each other but are free to talk to anyone not in the Holding Cell."
"And then I'll go off and give you all a break while I try to hang a first-circle wizard spell with just a Security helping me there."
"This problem set is a collection of Law-fragments of Probability, phrased in nonmathematical ways. The exercise is to see how far you can get, on how many, in translating them into proper Law."
1. Your strength in the Way is your ability to be more confused by fiction than by reality. If you're equally good at explaining any outcome you can see, that's the same as not knowing anything.
2. Surprising claims require surprising evidence; unsurprising evidence suffices for unsurprising claims.
3. No empirical theory can prove itself except by risking its disproof.
4. To convince me of your theory, make a correct prediction that no other theory makes.
5. A precise true prediction is much more convincing than an imprecise true one.
6. It is impossible to coherently expect to convince yourself of anything.
7. You can't expect anyone else to convince you of something either, even if you think they're controlling everything you see.
