I had problems with Platonic forms. Too human centric. Mathematics and QM are closely coupled by the study of probability. Even the law recognizes "a reasonable doubt" may exist. But that slippery slope is the problem. Reasonable to one person is probably (there I go again) not the same for another.

Another example. My kids ask M. Coz for something. She says no. They ask me and I say yes. As soon as I find out that they asked both of us, the answer does a state shift from what they want to what I want (for them NOT to ask us both). The probability of getting what they want is based upon the probability of me checking with M. Coz ANDed with their getting away with it for all reasons. Since I check with M. Coz with anything that is controversial the probability of them getting what they want is dangerously close to zero. They are better off taking their chances with one parent and accepting that answer. So goes game theory. We are in a game. Like it or not.
