At least during the latter part of March, 1980, the statement,
"all swans are white," was false; those familiar with Heinlein's
"fair witness" concept will recognize the phrasing; I say it
having witnessed black or near-black swans in Perth during the
aforementioned time.
Granting that the facts have little to do with the principle of
the argument, I thought folks might nonetheless be amused.
