    Then ignore my last statement. Wouldn't be the first time that my feeble
    attempt to clarify only caused more confusion.

    Incidentally, you answered my question to Ham about why everyone shrinks
    from the concept of absolutes by referring to the statement, "We're truly
    certain there is no true certainty." The statement is illogical because it
    contradicts itself. Philosophy ought to be logically consistent based on
    non-selfcontradictory assumptions. Otherwise, it's flaky.
