Random Emeralds

This abstract has open access
Abstract
In a Bayesian framework, Goodman's `New Riddle of Induction' boils down to the choice of priors. I argue that if we assume random sampling, we should assign a low prior probability to all emeralds being grue. This is because random sampling and the observation-independence of green and blue imply that our prior should be *exchangeable* with respect to green and blue.
