"I ask the straightforward question: How can knowledge
of a fragmentary *a posteriori* nature affect the *a
priori* probability of either person having two sons?"
<end quote>
I respond - by having "=E0 posteriori" knowledge, we are limiting that
portion of the "=E0 priori" universe that we consider. If we choose to
exclude two DIFFERENT portions of the universe, then we will get two
different answers to the same question (with different conditions)
