I simply explained to you that if something being simultaneously true and false is a matter of context, then it's been equivocated over....?Is it true that dragons are real, and that if you try to take their gold, they'll kill you? In some games, yes. In real life, no. Can I say, "In the only experience with dragons we have, they'll kill you if you steal your gold. . . therefore until better evidence is presented, I must conclude that dragons are real, and that they care about gold"? No. I'm attempting to take evidence-in-context out of its context.
A good example would be your metaphysical views on material monism, which you cannot actually found based on evidence, except in context: "In the context of my mundane experiences, reality consists of things with particular properties arranged in a 3-dimensional space."
