The definition of truth given in the system we call logic...is word salad? I think we may have isolated the disconnect, lol.
Microscopes wont change the tabletop, it's not a power that they possess. Just because the qualities you refer to as smooth and flat turn out to be something other than what you thought they were...doesn't make those qualities go poof in a puff of bad logic.
The truth value of a singular, non equivocated statement is dependant upon nothing other than the soundness of the propositions, and the validity of the argument. The minute you tell me that the truth value of some singular statement is dependant on context you have openly acknowledged your equivocation. To whit, the misleading or confusing use of one term, or set of terms with two or more meanings....or, you know...truth-in-context.
You ask, for example, "am I running around the corner"....and I'm supposed to fucking intuit whether or not you mean you, or your ingame avatar, lol?
You talk about physics as in..you know, actual physics, and physics, as in game programming, and I'm supposed to intuit which you mean (though, you really seemed to think there were seperate physics).
Then, you treat these seperate questions, these seperate meanings of some term x as though they were interchangeable, and respond to an asnwer of one with, "nuh uh, what about the other".
Do you see it now?
Hey, here's a q for you that might actually take us somewhere. Are you trying to draw a line from epistemic contextualism, to something? That would give us a shortcut passed whatever communicative difficulties we're having.
