I have already indicated that I don't believe you are defining EvE

CM:

You say "but not 'both are true.'"  If not true, then it must be false (I see no middle ground between true and false, like maybe true, possibly true, partially true, good sources but ultimately false, with reason but ultimately false). SO I have difficulty with your position that EvE will accept something as false nevertheless assign it merit. What is the nature of the merit of a falsehood? I prefer the paradox of "Schrodinger's Mamzer." At least it does no harm to foundational concepts of emes. Also it is a paradox I may not understand but must live anyway with if I accept the veracity of quantum mechanics (at least with this interpretation).
