They think they're using a plain old-fashioned premise, but they're really talking about the premise that 'IF Airtrain had no access fee at Howard Beach....'Of course, the fact of the matter is that there IS an access fee at Howard Beach. But if they'd like to go on reasoning about the world in which there isn't an access fee, more power to them. Let's just be clear what we're talking about so that we don't talk past each other. I'm interested in the present world, and they're interested in a hypothetical world, possibly one exactly like ours except in a few respects; but that world is nonetheless not ours. |
