Good things come to those that wait

First let me say that " postphoned " is a very diplomatic choice of words.

Because I choose not to quibble with "there is such a thing as anti Israeli racism ( as opposed to anti semitism ), doesn't mean I am comfortable with the language. Many people wanted to see an end to the Soviet Union but I never heard it called racism. But like I said I will play. I won't quibble.

The problem with these kinds of empirical statements is that regardless of how many confirming instances there are just one counter example renders them false.

This why scientists say there are no scientific facts just theories.We have varying degrees of confidence in these theories. Take the theory that water boils at 100C at sea level.We have so much confidence in this theory that we act as if it were a fact rather a product of inductive reasoning.When we get on an airplane we express confidence in a whole host of theories since we have not encountered any counter instances.
