You are mistaken. Though it is not uncommon that those unfamiliar with the scientific method haven’t learned yet.
Given the hierarchy of certainty:
unknown > incomprehensible > undecidable > possibly true > false.
(a) all premises are contingent
(b) so justificationism is false
(c) so all logic is falsificationary
(d) so all truth claims must satisfy survival from adversarial competition, consisting of tests of: realism, categorical identity, internal consistency, operational possibility, external correspondence, rational choice, reciprocal rational choice (ethical), and fully accounted, within stated limits, and within the limits of restitutabilty. Because one cannot make a truth claim without satisfying those criteria.
In other words:
A mathematical proof tells us that something is possible.
An argumentative proof tells us only that all alternatives are eliminated.
A testimonial truth tells us only that something is testifiable given the knowledge available.
All other truth claims ARE LIES.
And yes, as far as I know, I understand this as well or better than anyone living or dead. And almost certainly anyone at all. 😉
