242. Mustn’t we say at every turn : “I believe this with certainty”?
no – what you do is –
you just make your statement –
that is all that is required
the preface ’I believe’ –
is logically irrelevant –
it’s value is rhetorical
as for certainty –
all assertions –
rhetorical or not –
are open to question –
open to doubt
