Probably because they are not all empirical. I took issue with the idea that only a posteriori, empirically verifiable truths count as knowledge. Double-blind lab experiments are not required to justify the a priori first principles of philosophy like the Principle of Non-Contradition and Law of Identity, likewise the discoveries of mathematics.

May not, but we can USE these models of logic and mathematics in the real world and they will consistently, and predictably work the same way every time. You can perform math equations on paper and -demonstrate- how you worked them out.
