520 |a The physicist Richard Gott defends the Copernican principle, which claims that when we have no information about our position along a given dimension among a group of observers, we should consider ourselves to be randomly located among those observers in respect to that dimension.

I remain neutral regarding whether this result is a reductio of these arguments from evil or the statement of a genuine evidential relationship.
