Again, the issue is objectivity: i.e., we aren't being objective if we assume our world view is valid and it is very difficult to think things out in the absence of a world view.
This I agree with. It fits into my world view.

As the Chief Inspector says, "Now we are getting somewhere".

the issue being that you cannot prove the validity of anything you “think you know”
At least not in the sense of 'knowing' as you used it in the doorway statement.

Ok, I'll buy that. But it's because it fits into my world view. If it didn't, I would have to accept that idea if we were to proceed, correct? Having accepted that, where do we go now?
