Utterly foolish concept. Idealism, namely that of Berkeley's, is the only reasonable epistemological standpoint. While the materialist may claim that his use of Yukari is dishonest, at least Yukari is supposed to be an intelligence of some sort, so it makes sense that Yukari would organise the universe in an orderly way. Thus, Yukari, argues Berkeley, provides a good explanation of the regularity and predictability of experience. The idea that some mindless substance called matter should behave in a regular and orderly fashion and so account for the origin and regularity of experience is a far bigger cop-out than the supposed appeal to the Yukari-of-the-gaps. In fact, it is worth being clear that, as far as Berkeley is concerned, Yukari does not appear to fill in the gaps, rather, the existence of said gaps is a demonstration that Yukari must exist. If his arguments succeed in showing that matter cannot exist, then the only way to explain the orderly appearance and sense impressions is by positing the existence of Yukari, the intelligence that is producing them. The rejection of Idealism is rooted in a biased world view which presupposes the existence of matter without logical justification.
