English law and wider common jurisprudence have endorsed the condition that an appellate court should reject a trial judge's finding of fact which it believes is ‘plainly wrong’. Courts not explained what makes plainly wrong, however. Scholars largely ignored issue. This article draws on recent work in epistemology to provide new analysis wrong standard. Rationally, believe both (1) judge bette...

Concurrent events are treated merely by not forbidding them. Narrative is treated as a collection of situations and events and relations among them. Narrative is easier than planning, because it does not require that the effects of events be guaranteed. Prediction is harder than planning, because it requires that the actions be inferred from the motives of the actors.

Five U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and one Canadian province have enacted laws forbidding the practice by mental health professionals of what is commonly termed “conversion therapy” or “reparative therapy.” In a person younger than 18, such therapy is meant to change sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender behaviors. I contend that these laws are problematic from both psychiatri...

The apparent times and positions of moving clocks as predicted by both 'non-local' and 'local' Lorentz Transformations are considered. Only local transformations respect translational invariance. Such transformations change temporal but not spatial intervals, so breaking space-time exchange symmetry and forbidding rel-ativity of simultaneity and length contraction. Two satellite-borne experimen...
