So, now I'd like to put the question to you: how did you come to believe that judgements based on sense data are arbitrary, and cannot be trusted?

Through definition and logic: when considering the question, "How can I know?", I would answer "Because of...", but when I examined that because of, I realized it contained propositions that I didnt know for certain, either.

All right.  But you could just as well have accepted my point of view--empiricism, couldn't you?  (You've already agreed that my views are also "logical" in the sense of being internally consistent.)

On what basis do you choose your views over mine?

(Also, what would it mean to "know for certain"?)
