on certainty 26

26. But can it be seen from a rule what circumstances logically exclude a mistake in the employment of rules of calculation?

What use is a rule here? Mightn’t we (in turn) go wrong in applying it?

a rule will not determine circumstance –

any so called ‘rule’ is a product of circumstance –

and like circumstance – uncertain

a mistake in the employment of the rules of calculation?

there are no mistakes – in an uncertain reality

any action we take  – is open to question –

open to doubt
