If I may summarize what I think the key disagreement is, you think we can know truth well enough to avoid the problem of the criterion and gain nothing from addressing it.
and to be pointed about it I think believing you can identify the criterion of truth is a “comforting” belief that is either contradictory or demands adopting non-transcendental idealism
Actually… I was going to edit my comment to add that I’m not sure that I would agree that I “think we can know truth well enough to avoid the problem of the criterion” either, since your conception of this notion seems to intrinsically require some kind of magic, leading me to believe that you somehow mean something different by this than I would. But I didn’t get around to it in time! No matter.
