Better than what? Better than "it seems true to me"? But I didn't ask for "Answers That Seem True".
"Confusion-extinguishing" may be the best heuristic I have now for arriving at the truth, but if someone else has come up with better heuristics, I want them to write about the answers they arrived at using those heuristics. I think I was right to identify what I actually want, which is truth, and not answers satisfying a particular heuristic.
Do you want to know whether "100 angels can dance on the head of a pin" is true, or do you want the confusion that generated that question to be extinguished?
(It's true, by the way.)
