Little Aristotle argues: "A bigger portion of ice cream is better than a
smaller one (within certain limits)." "That's not correct,", his younger
cousin Galileo answers, "they all have the same quality!". His argument
is this: "The small portion together with the big portion (fill both
portions from their old bowls into a new one) is better than the former
big one, because it is even bigger. But, at the same time, it is less good
since we have to take the average of the big and the small one's quality,
i.e., the low quality of the small will reduce the high quality of the former
big one. Reductio complete, bigger ice cream portions are—
contrary to what you think, Aristotle—not better than smaller ones.
They all have the same quality." Speaks thus. He no doubt reaches for
the bigger portion and tries to leave Aristotle with the small one.
