I haven't been following the illogical thread (too much family -- too much food) but the small statement here suggests Plato's definition of knowledge. If the sentence is illogical, then it's truth is merely accidental (and, therefore, not good enough for knowledge). Ursula, back to the family and the food (and the odd glass of red wine...)
My apologies to Andreas if this is an irrelevant response to his showing of possibility -- which I no longer have...
