   22 years of using categorically exhaustive reasoning   
   (that eliminate all gaps in reasoning) to reverse-engineer   
   the foundation of all analytical truth.

   Of course you will reject it out-of-hand without   
   even glancing at it, none the less it does form a   
   single coherent view that cannot be shown to have   
   any incoherence.   
      
   When you always think inside-the-box then like on   
   Stack Exchange all new ideas are rejected entirely   
   on the basis that they do not exactly correspond   
   to existing ideas.
