Hi Stephen P. King So what's Kant supposed to say ? I'm not sure if this is true, but it would benefit me if you agree to it ?

Hi Roger, OK, in that context I agree with you. But what inevitably happens is that people take the rule of thumb use of a priori and treat it as a universal mandate! I am OK with pedagological use of a priori, but this is not what kant did. He treated the a priori as a universal mandate. -- Onward!
