Well...I suppose I’d want to know why that idea is intuitive to you, and how you could ever verify that it’s correct, lol. If someone has an idea of a manticore without a tail, then it isn’t a manticore. That would be faulty intuition. If that same person saw a drawing of a manticore, he would (hopefully) acknowledge that the empirical data demonstrates his intuition about manticores to be incorrect. If someone intuits that empirical facts can never give us the whole picture, that’s a just a bare assertion. By the nature of the claim, they could never use any empirical data to back it up. Yeah?
Quote:That no amount of empirical instances proves the necessity of some truth? That a necessary truth, then, does not and cannot depend on individual instances of empirical facts.
Then, how could it ever be verified as true, lol? What qualifies these things as truths at all? You’d simply be begging the question. Am I following correctly? Remember, I’m blonde. 😁
