actually, will, my position is basically an extension of what filtherton has been saying. i think his basic point is correct and that this question of "perceptual faith" is fundamental to how it is that we operate in the world.
the problem comes in the relation of "perceptual faith" to other meanings ascribed to the word "faith"--pushing them apart was the idea behind the post.
i dont know if it was successful simply because the messageboard is not good for arguments of any complexity or that require much detailed explanation. it's just like that.
