Looks like Pryce might have bet to much on this guy, that rant could have did more harm than good.

The first part was fine as well as the end, he probably could have got away with one example but not two.

...'freshman college philosophy' is right - and as a philosophy major (or British equivalent), I know what I'm talking about. That argument REALLY wasn't phrased well. If I was Prescott, I'd have emphasised that Peter and the Superfriends really believed they were being attacked, and didn't seem to be crazy, and left it at that. Scepticism is an interesting concept that needs to be taken into account in any theory of reality, but no-one ACTUALLY believes in the brain-in-a-vat scenario.

TL;DR version - metaphysical concerns are not a local court's problem.

...and did Goodin just get away with calling Prescott a pothead?

Let's see what the magic of Pryce can whip up to salvage the situation!

Aniza = A lovely Spanish lass who had her heart stolen by a rougish swashbuckler. Prescott tried to get him convicted of metaphorical organ-harvesting, until Pryce rode in on a dragon and threw the case out.

Heh heh, it's about to get worse.

Rubberduck -
Pryce may have made a technical blunder in trusting this guy...
