on certainty 197


197. It would be nonsense to say that we regard something as sure evidence because it is certainly true.



well it would be repetitive –

for to say you regard evidence –

 as ‘sure’ –

is to say you regard it –

as certainly true

the nonsense –

is in regarding anything –

any proposal –

as sure –

any proposition –

as certainly true
