Sarcasm and Skepticism

Posted July 5, 2007 By Dave Thomer

For some reason I got this Kids in the Hall sketch in my head today, and it occurred to me that it might be useful the next time I have to teach about skepticism. We may not really believe that David Foley has a speech impediment, but all the available sensory evidence agrees with that possibility. So if you can’t rule it out, can you say you know what’s going on?

Or maybe I just wanted an excuse to go hunting for old sketch comedy and call it research.
