JE:-
Lets take this just one small step at a time. What you stated was EITHER
self contradictory or it wasn't, i.e. either "HUMANS are incapable of
knowing... (damn this is getting frustrating) what is true" or they are
_capable_ of knowing what is true. It can only be one OR the other and not
one AND the other. OK?
