Well, at last an answer to my question. Thanks. But why do you say all this 
is an analogy? Analogous to what?

[Arlo]
There are no absolute truths... including that statement.

All this is just an analogy... including this sentence.

Every form of knowledge rests on assumptions... including this one.

These all say the same thing.

So when you say, "every form of knowledge rests on assumptions", to be correct
you need to say "based on my assumptions, every form of knowledge rests on
assumptions". 

Unless you are saying that the knowledge that every form of knowledge rests on
assumptions is, itself, NOT based on an assumption. Self-contradiction.

Otherwise you embrace the paradox. Just pointing that out.

"Every form of knowledge rests on assumptions" is an assumption. 

There is no escape.
