The thing I worry about with this line of argument is that it can create a solemn vow to pursue truth, but not a burning itch to know. Still, perhaps the former can lead to the latter.
Good point!
Still, isn't a solemn vow to pursue truth better than no vow at all? Even if a burning itch to know is better... How DO you create a burning itch to know in someone who doesn't have one?
