    Supports→The a priori probability that a given property P is a rightmaking property is equal to the a priori probability that P is a wrongmaking property.

    The second-order property of being a rightmaking property and the second-order property of being a wrongmaking property belong to a family of mutually exclusive properties.

    But what underlies this intuitive idea? The answer is a certain very fundamental and very plausible equiprobability principle, to the effect that if one has a family of mutually exclusive properties, and if \(P\) and \(Q\) are any two members of that family, then the a priori probability that something has property \(P\) is equal to the a priori probability that that thing has property \(Q\). For then given that principle, one can consider the family of second order properties that contains the second-order property of being a rightmaking property and the second-order property of being a wrong...
