Can you have "absolute proof" of anything? In the American justice
system, they talk about "beyond a reasonable doubt". But I knew someone
who was being interviewed for possibly serving on a jury and he asked
what percentage uncertainty constitutes a reasonable doubt. They
promptly rejected him from the jury (too scientific?).
