"...reason now persuades me that I should withold my assent no less carefully from things which are not plainly certain and indubitable than what I would to what is patently false, it will be sufficient justification for rejecting them all, if I find in each one of them some reason for doubt."
This was THE skeptical method to finding absolute truth.
Do you ever tell youself?-- well this set of data is only, merely probable therefore let's pretend that it is absolutely false, so that I can find a firm foundation to my knowledge.
Or is this criterion really contrived and impossible in everyday life?
