You need to read my post again- you are mistaken.

what you said:

>Your conclusion does not follow from your premise. Lack of the ability to prove the
correctness of an idea does not prove that it does not exist outside our conception of
it. I know that you believe that it does not exist outside our conception of it but I
disagree. <

What I said:

"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.
