Based on his definition yes. Well, one of his many definitions. He changes it every 5 seconds. Any time I call MK out on something he says that what he's really saying is something completely different. Still, it's just as nonsensical as the first thing... it's just a different point entirely. So then I pin that down and then he says what he's really saying is something ELSE nonsensical.
MK if you want to discuss something with someone... it's not going to work if every time someone responds you say you meant something completely different.
You say A and I say "well A makes no sense" and you say "I am saying B" and I say "no you aren't you are saying A. But anyways B makes no sense either." And then you say "I am saying C."

It seems to have some minor problems, such as the obvious fact that different people honestly believe contradictory things on a daily basis? Or are we going to go No True Scotsman and claim that everyone else doesn't *honestly* believe?
Well for starters "honest belief" is just a tautology, lol.
If you don't honestly believe something then you don't really believe it, in all honesty
And my point is belief is obviously not knowledge because people can believe things that are untrue and unjustified.
