In short, this person would know nothing about God as He IS, I AM THAT AM. Human categories of logic and reason cannot even address I AM THAT AM in His unimaginable immensity, let alone taxonomically/linguistically classify Him in ways that can be studied by the scientific method.

well put, though (playing Devil's advocate again), technically, none of us can know anything more than superficial about God. We can arrive at the idea of the Trinity by understanding what it is not. Correct?

I suppose it could be done that way. But I wouldn't know how to do it that way....

The idea of a via negativa to the Holy Trinity strikes me as unpromising from the get-go....
