This is deep and for this reason people, even intelligent people, can misunderstand the point when they think about it. Yet people, even dupes, understand the point perfectly when they have to apply it in real life. Let me explain: let us assume that I have uttered some 2000000 statements till now. If somebody (God, say) has recorded the stuff and selects three consecutive statements from mine, apparently stupid, to prove that I'm a dupe, you don't need to feel convinced. Maybe God, as pervert as usual, has selected three rare cases of particularly foolish affirmations (made, who knows, when I was drunk or the like) in order to fool you. But if you just meet me for the first time, and the first three statements of mine that you hear are stupid ones, you will deduce that I am a dupe, and that will be a quite reasonable deduction.
