BTW, this isn't as flippant as it sounds. Personally, I cannot *imagine* such a context. I know too much about science and scientists to believe that science is devoid of illusion and delusion, and my experience tells me that even the enlightened are capable of being just as prone to illusion and delusion as anyone else. The enlightened are in contact with eternity/the trans- cendent/whatever you want to call it, that's all. But at the same time they live in the same world as we do, deal with the same kinds of samskaras we do, read the same fictional newspapers we do, and have many of the same assumptions we do. So the bottom line for me is that I think you are correct to make up your own mind about things, but I wouldn't count too much on finding a context in which you know things for sure, as "truth."
