That's a contradiction. If the only absolute truth is "we can't know any
absolute truth", then it follows that we can't know the absolute truth that "we
can't know any absolute truth". Therefore the statement is false.

Did I get that right? I hope I remember enough from that frustrating logic
class. I tried to forget as much as possible, but unfortunately some has stuck
with me :)
