So if you agree about that, why are you saying things like

If our p 0.9 proposition coincides with what the world is actually like, then we must assume someone has a 100 % accurate model of what the world is actually like to make that claim.

How is the "if" connected to the "then" of that sentence? Your thinking isn't making any sense to me.

That quote shouldn't make sense to you, and it's not my thinking. Keep in mind I'm not endorsing a notion of truth here, I'm questioning it.
