Fake zebras

Apparently, there's a Chinese park charging people to have pictures with a Dretske-style fake zebra. The experiment reveals the underappreciated role of fun in epistemology:

"We saw right away that the zebra is fake, but we are here for fun, so it doesn't really matter," said a mother who had just paid for her child's picture.

According to the City Evening News, the park says it doesn't know if the horse is a zebra or not: "It's not that important. It is for fun," said a spokesman.
