on certainty 366


366.  Suppose it were forbidden to say “I know” and only allowed to say “I believe I know”?



to say ‘I believe I know’ –

is to say I am uncertain –

about my so called knowledge

however –

if it is understood that any assertion made –

is uncertain –

‘I believe I know’ –

is irrelevant and unnecessary
