   IAN: Hara Ra, I realize that "April 1" and 
   other such jokes are the best thing you've 
   got going against holism, but I am pleased 
   that you venture to make a logical argument!
   OK, so show us a prediction about any thing 
   A that is made free from relation to not-A.
   When you have shown that to us, you'll have 
   succeeded in supporting your case with a 
   single item of evidence, which is the 
   next step in logical inquiry.
   If you cannot find an example of a predic-
   tion about A made free from relation to 
   not-A, then where is the evidence that 
   atomism helps us make predictions?
