The progress of science makes someone become B, if you choose A then you live traditionally by rejecting something that is already established

An inability to take in new information and update your internal model of reality might literally make you retarded, I'm afraid.

sorry, line 12 should be:

There are plenty of subhumans with 2 arms and 2 legs. Too many.

he doesn't cease to be a human
it's just that he's an exception to the rule that humans have 2 legs. This is A's position
B's position is that human's definition should not involve any particular number of legs unless it's germane to the situation at hand such as running (duck typing)
>>
>>107041723
A is not unable to take in new information. It's not like he pretends that the 3-armed cripple doesn't exist. It's just that his model of human describes the default, and is applicable to some vast majority of instances, therefore a small number of anomalies can be neglected.

If however we take B's proposition that all possible scenarions should be accounted for in the model, then soon enough his definition will be "a human is something something anything with any number of whatever or not", which makes it less useful, since it will technically envelop every human encountered, but not sufficiently describe what a human (typically) is.
Not to mention that B might propose that the model be corrected ahead of time to anticipate future cases that are technically possible but haven't been encountered.

Neither, because the premise is retarded. A human is not defined by n of arms and legs.
>>
Most people have a number of legs above the average.

B obviously. Both A and B are making valid statements, but A's is stronger despite there not being enough evidence for it

Consider if the humans were introduced in reverse order. B would draw the same correct conclusion while A would say there is something wrong with the normal human
>>
>>107041426
a human is a living creature born from another human.
>>
>>107041426
Both are wrong.
The human become a transhuman which is insanely based and epic.

A. For any given category, you can usually find counter examples to nearly any descriptor of the category, such that it seems like nothing defines the category at all. You have to accept that not all criteria will always be exactly followed. Throwing out the criteria as a result is idiocy. Humans do, in the vast majority of cases, have two arms and two legs. Ignoring that extremely common observation because of one or two rare counter examples is retardation. If applied broadly enough, you would have no way of distinguishing a human from rock.
>oh this human lies in bed and doesn't ever wake up
>this human is missing all his arms and legs
>this human has a deformed misfigured face
etc etc. Combine them all together and you no longer have anything even vaguely resembling a human.

The first human isn't human by your definition.

There's clearly something wrong with that human
