So you have to pass the PA test in order to use the software. What kind
of test? A test that you aren't pirating the software. Guilty until
passing the test.

Even your own explanation proves that with PA, MS's assumption is Guilty
until proven by the PA test to be innocent.

ROFL! What else does the good book teach? That the Earth and all life
on it was created in 6 days. That the Earth is around 10,000 years old.
That the oldest human lived over 900 hundred years. That cutting off
your foreskin is a covenant between God and Man . . . .

And the list of foolish things that the Bible tells us goes on and on.

While I don't know whether God exists or not, in the realm of being a
fool because one believes in no god, it would be at the very least
equally foolish to believe there is one very specific "God," since
neither proposition can be proven or disproven through reason.

A fool is one that presents his unprovable and unreasonable beliefs as
undeniable absolute knowledge.

A wise man is one that says he does not know that which he does not know
through reason.

I have yet to see a proof based on reason, that proves the existence of
a Supreme Being/Creator/Prime Mover in general, so therefore it would
seem very foolish to believe in a very specific "God," if one cannot
reasonably prove that a god/creator, in general, exists. Belief in the
non-existence of a god/creator is also foolish, since it cannot be
reasonably proven either, but on the scale of foolishness, it is a less
foolish belief than the existence of a very specific "God."
