on certainty 583

583. “I know that the name of this in…is ‘…’ – How do you know? – “I have learnt…”

Could I substitute “In…the name of this is ‘..’” for “I know etc.” in this example?

yes –

nothing would be lost logically speaking –

and there would be a gain –

                                                                                                                                   

the deception of ‘I know’ –

would have been eliminated

this has to be a step in the right direction –

for clear thinking and plain speaking
