Robert Pirsig taught me

THE TESTS OF TRUTH

1. Logical consistency.
2. Agreement with experience.
3. Economy of explanation.

Law enforcement has been changing their story about this and providing long explanations.

“3. Economy of explanation” would seem to disagree with them.

“3. Economy of explanation” would be,

“He came charging at us with guns blazing, so we had to shoot him.”

They didn’t say that.
