I dont understand the examples. It seems that the GOD concept entails a simpler explanation. After all, I only need to assume GOD, or a simple supreme Being. That just seems a single (and common) assumption. For the Jackass, I need to assume the existence of Jackass, that there are cameras, that there are invisible strings, that Jackass has a given program, that the program is running, that it operates where I am, and that they have chosen me. Seems a lot of of improbable assumptions. I am not sure this is also all that useful because we have priors. GOD as as force can be prior one holds but not all that about Jackass. So the analysis does not operate in a blank slate(because all already entail entire ontologies and epistemologies).
