'Dream within a dream' is a lovely piece of alliteration about complete and utter fantasy for little boys, but a really crappy piece of reasoning to demonstrate something is even possible in reality. Could you provide a useful example to make your case for counterfactuals in science?

However, the moon is still there, even when you are not looking at it. C.Takacsnoreply@blogger.com
