  But then it's not a matter of what I think! For there are many
examples of statements that intelligent people have in fact classified as
a priori non-trivial truths. However, it is an easy matter for anybody
who feels so inclined to point out that these are not a priori or
are not non-trivial or are not true. Hence my doubts concerning the
meaningfulness of the exercise you propose, in the absence of any
agreement on what we are talking about.
