Young lovers have enough problems without being distracted by the limitations
of JTB-theory: in any case "not-knowing" is what is suggested by the phrase
"too young to know", and "not-knowing" may be assymetrical to "knowing" - so
even where 'knowing' denotes 'knowing' in the JTB-sense, "not-knowing" may not
be a state of non-justified non-true non-belief or anything of the sort that is
symmetrical to a JTB in analytical terms. That is: a lack of JTB may not be
symmetrical to a JTB in analytical terms anymore than the lack of mention of
Popper in Walter's post is symmetrical to my mentioning Popper in this post.
Btw, someone must know a catchy tune that goes with quoted words. Its dim in my
mind but it has a kind of see-saw rhythm.

Thus my own contributing quote:
