I never thought you would accept it a valid since to you no epistemology is valid – including classical foundationalism. Whenever it is convenient, you argue that the incorrigible experiences, such as personal identity, are illusions and self-evident principles, like the Principle of Non-Contradiction, are fictional. Your version of science is a cartoon. Your version of math has no essential connection to physical reality. The type of naturalism you espouse simply cannot survive the objections you raise to avoid theistic implications. In the end all you have left are shadows and fog.
As for me, I never said that our cognitive tools are perfect, our intuitions unassailable, or our perceptions immune to error. I see no valid reason for doubting that despite these limitations, people can still have actual intellectual interaction with an external reality beyond themselves.
