Where does your line#1 imply your line#2? That darn Behaviorism (I don't argue with your usage of words) may be a 'liveless' 3p behavior as well. It may depend on YOUR (MY?) definition of Ccness that may, or may not include thinking/living creatures exclusively. Just think of 'pressure' related changes available also for lifeless(?) items. *Br: Denied ignorance is very bad, but what about the accepted ignorance? Then we can do all the theories we want, without ever taking ourselves too much seriously. * Would you please draw a line here between science and religion? Br: *If we use ignorance to forbid the theorizing then we will certainly learn nothing.* Or: we would learn a different type (logic?) leading to different theorizing and build a different (scientific???) worldview. Agnosticism in my view does not restrict, rather free up the ways of gathering information.
