Why?
I have confidence in our system of understanding and organizing the shared experiences we call "objects," as well as their properties. I never had confidence in any idea of underlying reality, nor do I feel any need to-- there are simply no experiences that I have had, or expect to have, that make me think I know, or can know, what's under the hood of the universe, in an ultimate sense.
It's not hypoerbolic, it's absolute agnosticism with regards to cosmogony.
