    Can you give a reason though? I guess a child haven’t asked you an endless chain of whys yet. By the end of which you can’t say ‘why’ just that ‘that’s how it is’, you’ve reached the limit of knowledge.

    Of course when available knowledge is preferable.

      Epistemologically, “that’s how it is” is too declarative for that which we don’t know.

      Being asked an endless series of questions for me is going to end with “I don’t know”.

        • Why don’t you know?

        • I don’t know.

        • Why don’t you don’t know why you don’t know?

          if you really want to play this game:

          • that’s how it is.
          • why is that how it is?
          • because that’s how it is.
          • why is it because that’s how it is?

          You’re in the same boat.
