Crud. Misread the poll as about the viability of the a prior / a posteriori distinction. (True without empirical content {the usual example is first-order logic or mathematics} vs. truth-value only after empirical content).

History note: Kant wanted to assert the existence of a priori synthentic statements - a position I find nonsensical.
