You cannot prove the correctness of an idea not based, in any part, in reality as we experience it. So whether any opinion is correct, or none are, or whether correctness in itself is a misnomer (because it simply does not exist outside of our conception of it)"

Read what I wrote again- I allow that an unprovable position could exist and be correct- I merely argued that you cannot prove it.


No, you asserted more then I just that I can not prove it. You said "because it simply does not exist outside of our conception of it". You did not say "because we can not prove it does not exist outside of our conception of it".
