I am grateful to Aeon Skoble for his thoughtful and provocative response to my essay. Disagreement helps us think more carefully about what we believe and whether we are right to do believe it. For the sake of clarity, I try to elucidate the points of disagreement between us by raising a series of questions. In doing so, I try to be a fair and charitable interpreter of his remarks, though I predictably disagree with them.
