Let us use the example of science. A scientist sees a rock fall from a great height and hit the ground; later he tells others a rock has succumbed to gravity. But what is fallacious about believing in gravity? This. That gravity is a thing with phenomenal traits. So, what we should do is not base truth statements on any of there systems. If the archaic pagan says that gravity did not cause the rock to fall we cannot say he is false. Nor can we say the scientist is false by denying the pagans claim of seeing a faun, or the god pan, in the forest. We should see all systems that are in virtue of bracketing (taking an event phenomenally and trying to explain it in order to compare all truth statements to the system we created by bracketing) as descriptions of reality, not prescriptive systems of logic.
