Yes, I think it looks self-evident and undeniable from a certain point of view. But that point of view may not be the only one.
I've had people tell me that they have no interpretive framework for evaluating truth claims. They say they need no reasons to decide if something sounds correct or not. I was a little surprised by this, since I would be ashamed to say that my own judgments are made without justification.
So I think it makes sense to examine our own set of criteria for looking at the world, and wondering where it might break down.
