on certainty 265

265.  But what does it say, beyond “I have never been to such a place, and have compelling grounds for believing that”?

all that needs to be said is – ‘I have never been to such a place’

and further should a question arise –

‘you can believe me or not’

‘compelling grounds’ is unnecessary and irrelevant

you have no compelling grounds –

all you have is rhetoric –

and that either works or it doesn’t
