This is true. I try to avoid such silly and useless reasoning. Of course the girl knows a personing listening to that particular recording of her voice is listenting to that particular recording of her voice. If that particular recording of her voice is also an SGU podcast then she knows the person who is listening to that particular recording of her voice is also listening to an SGU podcast.
I would suggest that when you hear that womans voice you believe that you are listening to the SGU podcast and not some random static that just happens to sound like the chick making the introduction to the SGU podcast.
Why is that?
Now suppose I claim to you that SGU podcasts don't exist. You counter that claim by playing a recording of the SGU podcast. Wouldn't it be silly of me to say, "Thats not evidence of an SGU podcast....thats just random static sounding like what an SGU podcast would sound like if it existed". Or "we don't know why that sounds like an SGU podcast but I am sure there is explaination and eventually we will find it". Or "there are an infinite number of broadcasts of woman making different statements...therefore it is inevitable there would eventually be a woman making this particular statement"
