Preliminary reaction
Again, I only now began using the term “legitimate’ in place of “arriving at absolute knowledge through a method of truth”. I thought this discussion had started out pretty clearly in that direction and I thought that’s what I was clearly trying to communicate – a method of truth to establish absolute knowledge (I think I used “method of truth” several times previously).
In that case, according to you, legitimate beliefs about the world do not actually exist, since no such belief set can derive absolute knowledge through a "method of truth" without assuming things. No?
Thus by legitimate belief I mean the one gained from a method of truth that grantees truth and leaves no possibility of being wrong. 0_o does that help?
And now it sounds as if you mean "legitimate belief" to be a synonym for absolute knowledge.
I'm going to read your posts very, very carefully indeed, but I think we're headed to a strange place.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
