I really like this. are there upper or lower bounds to belief decibels? what does 1000db evidence or belief "sound" like vs 100db?

1000 dB of skepticism is watching someone win the lottery ten times in a row, with ten tickets, and saying "impressive trick, but I bet you can't do it an eleventh time".
