The argument from incompetence

Bridges, buildings, and tunnels rarely collapse.

Cars don't break down irreparably within a month of being bought.

House roofs generally don't leak or collapse under the weight of snow.

But all these things were purportedly built by people.

Hence the world of our experience - of my experience - cannot be real.
