15142	Our ability to count objects across possibilities favours the Barcan formulas [Williamson]
	Full Idea: Consideration of our ability to count objects across possibilities strongly favour both the Barcan formula and its converse.
	From: Timothy Williamson (Truthmakers and Converse Barcan Formula [1999], §3)
	A reaction: I'm not sure that I can understand counting objects across possibilities. The objects themselves are possibilia, and possibilia seem to include unknowns. The unexpected is highly possible.
