no, i'm not saying that.
i think i was pretty clear about what i meant.
you're operating from a particular viewpoint which for some reason you seem to think is absolute.
so you pose this question about ghosts or spirits or whatever you want to call them, and then ask, based on this viewpoint you have, whether they can be objects of knowledge in terms that are understood as "legit" within your frame of reference.
what i'm saying is that yours is not the only frame of reference, that others exist and have existed for which this is a non-problem, and that the explanation you are looking for probably lay in your own frame of reference,
and again, to be clear, i don't have a particular iron in this fire--i neither believe nor don't believe in ghosts---this isn't something that particularly interests me----but i am interested in how folk ask such questions.
no need to get snippy--i'm just trying to figure out what's going on here.
