    Although they kind of go hand in hand in some instances.
    Some statements don't need backing up Cod.

    "Hitler was a bad man"

    To back that up, here's a list of all the Jews he murdered..............
    Lobos asked whether horses could go the pace, so felt it would be remiss of me to not provide some sort of evidence, rather than just agreeing.

    What statements we choose to back up is surely up to the individual?

          Not really been one to wager on timings in different races though, but interesting anyway.

          Ive never had any doubts about CH going at a decent pace, think he’s pretty much always done that.
          I saw enough this season from him and his rivals to be pretty confident he can cope with whatever is thrown at him.
          Define pretty confident…coz that sounds pretty vague you’re guessing right and playing your old tapes hoping that the only reason the new tapes sound any different is because they haven’t been put in the super duper tape deck yet.

            Luckily I’ve just finished eating before seeing this
            Although was soon going to have a banana, might have to hold off that for a bit.

              Said like someone who actually reads the terms and conditions rather than just tick the little box.
              Good on you

                Confident as I can be without knowing for sure.
                That make sense?

                      There is no evidence to say he doesn't.

                      Then there must be a God.
                      To continue this analogy - Only the same thing if you're starting with evidence that God exists - say a standard water into Guinness miracle (as we have evidence that CH can run to X) - in the case of updating priors I'd argue that the absence of a negative is very much a positive - its a personal opinion on how the uncertainty is handled ofc

                        Very good way of putting it imo

                          Absolutely, in this case (the horses) there is evidence that C Hill can run to X.
                          Just not recently.
                          So faith in this instance is definitely not without hope.
                          My analogy was in respect of "absence of a negative is not a positive"

                          Think there's actually a passage in the bible about this. Faith and Hope
                          Not that I've ever read it fully.

                          As a bizarre coincidence, and this is completely true - a couple of nice elderly ladies with furry hats knocked on my door this morning, and when I answered they explained that they were Jehovah's witnesses. I immediately told them I was an atheist, at which point one of them asked me why ?

                          I said "common sense"

                          I told them I obviously wasn't interested and wished them peace and love and said my goodbyes. Not being sarcastic either as that's exactly what I said pretty much.

                          Love a bit of synchronicity.

                                And Lobos has probably just shat himself reading that.

                                Don't worry Lobos it's just a German Beer.
