When engaging in a discussion of ideas with others, having the final
word on issues of "logic" and "truth" seems too onerous a burden for
any one person to claim. If a person really did have access to such ultimate
rightness, I would hope they would use this gift in the service of all
humanity rather than just in a Gene Wolfe discussion board.
