And since everything is binary and you don’t have any tools to talk about things like uncertainty, this is The Truth and anyone who doesn’t recognize it as such is either a knave or a fool.

i have tools to talk about uncertainty, which are different than your tools, and which conceive of uncertainty somewhat differently than you do.
i have not figured it ALL out, but many things, such as the quality of SENS and twin studies.
fallibilism is one of the major philosophical ideas used in figuring things out. it’s crucial but it doesn’t imply, as you seem to believe, hedging, ignorance, equivocation, not knowing much, etc.
