Re: Resolving Hempel’s Raven Paradox
There are some flaws in the reasoning, if the raven has dust bathed thus are not all black anymore and are grey, thus it's still a raven, but not black.
Or if someone has been cruel and painted it another color.
If the raven has genetic faults due to mutation, thus are not black.
