So, are you saying that nobody knows anything and all perceptions and versions of reality are to be considered equal?
So, the 10 who say they are Elvis really might all be Elvis, and that this is equally likely as all ten of them being crazy?
No. I'm saying that if we have no evidence then the best
we can say is 'I don't know'.
In your Elvis example we have a slightly different situation
in that there can be only one Elvis, therefore 9 are definitely
not Elvis ... without performing some tests based upon a known
Elvisness we cannot comment on whether one of them is or is
not Elvis.
Because we assume that something cannot be the case does
not mean that we are right.
We can, if we investigate sufficently, rule out some possibilities,
and logic (without bias) may be helpful.
