Additional information

An earlier (and much funnier) version of this paper was presented as “Constructive Empiricism and Everyday Life” at a conference on laws of nature at the University of Michigan in April, 1990. I am grateful to Bas van Fraassen for his generous response at the conference, and also to Paul Benacerraf, Lisa Eckstrom, Sally Haslanger, Jim Joyce, Peter Railton, Larry Sklar, Jamie Tappenden, Paul Thomson and Steve Yablo for comments, conversations, etc.
