The Power of Thought Experiments

Nozick's response something like this: why that thought experiment? Why of all the hypotheticals is it this one? So I don't know if that's necessarily anything wrong with the thought experiment. Isn't that the case that we're always being arbitrary in selecting a particular thought experiment? But surely that's not a good criticism of the thought experiment, he says. The value of a thought experiment and how we use them is to start a conversation.
