Re: abstraction = compression
I'm sorry for reacting this late, but though I'm sceptical about quite a number of things, I would have to concede to the fact that there seems to be more than sufficient space in the total of possibilities of human fingerprints as well as our irises to allow a zero number of matches being due to coincidence to remain plausible in basicly any form of reality that would be plausible. That is, without figures as to the contrary. could you make the paranoia stick numerically?
