74. Can we say: a mistake doesn’t
only have a cause, it also has a ground? I.e. roughly: when someone makes a
mistake, this can be fitted into what he knows aright.
if you are mistaken –
the idea is you know it –
and know it for sure
otherwise –
what you are dealing with is –
an uncertainty –
not a mistake
as to what you know ‘aright’ –
all ‘knowledge’ –
is open to question –
open to doubt
if your ‘knowledge’ is genuine –
it is uncertain
the ‘mistake’ – doesn’t fit in –
it has no place –
in the epistemological context
it is a false concept
the point of it –
is to bolster –
the sham idea –
of certainty
