If the principled stance is merely an existential choice, that would seem to undermine its claim to knowability. Unless the choice is justified, then the reasons for it are unknown. You can't escape the need for axioms. Your description of the principled stance seems to imply this, that it is self-contradictory at a foundational level. Is this correct, or am I misunderstanding you?
