Yes it is. “The assumption of a conclusion or fact based primarily on lack of evidence to the contrary.” Basically asserting that something isn’t the case because one hasn’t observed it is an argument from ignorance because it’s an assumption of a conclusion based on a lack of evidence.Which isn't argument from ignorance. Nothing is being asserted as true or false. In fact I agree to the statement being true as it was claimed by Ian. This is again an issue of limitless being able to mean different things and being able to be interpreted in different ways.
Yes, it can contain any of those things. But in the context of Sonic's world. It could encompass any concept, size, etc. that exists within Sonic. Not every theory, idea, concept, etc. that exists irl exists within Sonic's world. Extrapolating that it could contain any concept or idea not in the setting of Sonic is a stretch given Ian's answer comment was in reference to his world (pun not intended, but well welcomed).
So we're in agreement. We wouldn't extrapolate something like infinite to mean anything other than "baseline" infinity without any context.
No, low ends are a safe lowerbound. Baseline is the absolute minimum possible. And while its entirely possible for a lowend to not be accurate, the same could again be said for a mid end and high end. The reason I go with the low-end is because at the very least it CAN'T be wrong as there's evidence it can't possibly be lower. A mid-end and high-end can be wrong and doesn't have the same luxary as a low-end. Hitchen's razor in this case would make the low-end the safest pick as its based on the bare minimum interpretation of the statement, whereas the high-end makes the an extrapolation on Ian's statement to be correct. Thus It should be dismissed in favor of the low-end (though if a mid-end with less assumptions exist, that would also work). And yes, hard agree on people trying to abuse officials lack of knowledge in attempt to wank this (and many) verses.
Eh, if he's fine with answering, that's fine. It'd be preferable if they instead stopped. Not like it should really matter if an official agrees with something they have no knowledge on to satisfy the questioner.
And let’s assume that any concept and size that exists in our world exists in Sonic? Then what? Are you going to make the argument that Sonic’s world doesn’t have our concept’s because it hasn’t shown it even though Ian Flynn has expressed that concepts of infinity and omega exists in Sonic? You know someone could just ask Ian whether Sonic has concepts found in our world and call it a day right? I highly doubt Ian Flynn would say no to that. It should also be noted Ian Flynn is the same guy who agreed Platonic Concepts like Truth, Beauty, Goodness and Justice exists in Sonic
Endless Possibilities exist throughout Sonic's world and multiverse
Concepts of Higher Dimensions exists in Sonic's world
The concepts of Infinity and Omega exists in Sonic
Eitaro Toyoda said all concepts of sets and sequences is a knowledge that exists in Sonic’s world
Ian Flynn confirms and agrees with Platonic Abstract Objects like Ideas, Concepts, and Numbers (with Thoughts and etc counting as Platonic Abstract Objects) existing in Sonic at 21:11 of this.
So I mean there’s cases to here. Sonic’s world was even particularly mentioned so I think it was talking about those things in general.
Infinity varies, having no limits has to what Dreams can contain is as clear as day that’s the issue here.
That’s not what lowball means. Lowball means to offer a deceptively or unrealistically low estimate, bid, etc. to. According to Oxford Dictionary so it is literally downplay. Except Occam’s Razor makes the medium the safest pick along with the statement of dreams being able to contain any and all sizes and concepts.
Not even, I think he’s implied he is sick of the questions but if he’s okay with it then I guess it’s fine.
