Tiberius Wrote:The problem is, there is no neutral setting to take claims into when the claims are about the nature of reality itself.

How did we get to the moon then? What are you typing on? Are you saying we didn't go to the moon? Are you saying you are not using media technology to converse with me?

Some one had to use scientific method to figure out those things. Otherwise if we did not start somewhere none of that would have happened.

Again you are merely playing a game of "technically". And I agree "technically" but only "technically". I am not hedging my bets on anything just because someone has the ability to claim it.
I don't know how to build a car engine from scratch, but I don't assume that there is a pink unicorn under the hood every time the hood is shut, even though "technically" I don't look under the hood every time I start the car. I do know how to drive a car and I don't assume that it runs on sugar.
