Hmmm... Sounds a lot like Kierkegaard, "Truth is man's approximation of thought
to reality."

I go more for the notion that truth is absolute, even though we form a local
approximation.  Sort of like Plato's notion of the concept underlying the
physical implementation.  (Best arguer I ever saw, but king of the faulty
dilemma).

Anyway, I like you personally, and maybe I will pop in and out of the
discussion.
