Again, I haven't been asking you questions that arose from any belief of mine, you said, very specifically, that there where conditions for our making claims to knowledge. Why are you unwilling to meet those conditions which you yourself set, or provide the observations that led you to these claims to knowledge -that you yourself insisted one must have-?
The only reason we're going around in circles here is because you have failed to proceed past the very first step that you yourself laid out not but 5 or 6 posts back. Until you either provide those observations-or modify your statement with regards to the conditions of claims to knowledge, I will continue to ask you this same question.
Suggesting is not a claim to knowledge. It's considering and not dismissing what you don't know as there's no answer emerging from what you do know.
Perhaps you should define what you mean by 'observations', do you mean in the scientific sense or my epistemology?
