 Notice that the eliminativist is more radical than the skeptic. The skeptic thinks the concept of knowledge is coherent and definite in its requirements. We just fall short of being knowers. The skeptic treats ‘No man is a knower’ like ‘No man is an immortal’. There is nothing wrong with the concept of immortality. Biology just winds up guaranteeing that every man falls short of being immortal. Universal absence of knowledge would be shocking. But the potential to shock us should not lead us to kill the messenger (the skeptic) or declare unintelligible the vocabulary comprising the message (specifically, the word ‘know’).
