You're right. I am certain 2+2 is not equal to 5. You aren't?

Problem is you compared critical analysis to a student proclaiming with certitude that 2+2=5. If that is your idea of critical analysis...well...

I come form a philosophical background so I believe all certitude is overrated.

Are you speaking in your capacity as a lawyer, or as a scientist?

Currently I speaking in my capacity as a Love God but I don't know what that has to do with anything. I have been and will always strive to be a student - if a professor does not understand the difference between starting certitude and providing critical analysis - I would drop the class.

You haven't told us what yours is, yet.

All certitude, huh? Have you checked whether the sun rose this morning? It might have been sneakily replaced by a large incandescent light source. Are you sure you're still writing in English? Are you sure that when you put your foot on the gas, the car won't brake? You didn't check that carefully before doing it? When you got out of bed, did you ascertain whether the law of gravity was still in existence?

So, you are certain all certitude is overrated.

And people wonder why philosophy isn't taken seriously anymore...
