on certainty 14

14. That he does know remains to be shewn.

it does not remain to be shown

if you claim to know –

you claim an authority

the only authority is authorship

in making your statement –

logically speaking –

what you show is authorship –

but that’s all –

rhetoric is another matter –

here the question is –

what do you show –

if you claim an authority –

beyond authorship –

an authority –

you don’t have?
