@fresco,
OK, if it's simply "social agreement" and social agreements can all be equal in their veracity, they can thus be equal in their absurdity, so my dog being god must be congruent with Ohm's Law.

@Chumly,
For social purposes they are obviously not "equal in veracity". "Truth" is "what works", and "degree of veracity" is determined by consensus.

@fresco,
Why should the number of believers change Ohm's Law or my belief that my dog is god?

@Chumly,
Not the number of "believers"....the number of "users".
