Abstract: Cox's well-known theorem justifying the use of probability
is shown not to hold in finite domains. The counterexample also
suggests that Cox's assumptions are insufficient to prove the result
even in infinite domains. The same counterexample is used to disprove
a result of Fine on comparative conditional probability.
