“The best explanation”... That is something which you should reconsider. Few problems have a single optimal solution. And knowledge is more a matter of cumulative subjective experiences than a single event.

What is good for me is bad for you (as a matter of fact I find Gödel’s proof unmistakeaby clear).




I concede the point: the "best" explanation is best in a context.

The best explanation for a PhD candidate about to defend their thesis the next day is not the same as it is for, say, me.

But that reinforces the point I am making.
