The sceptic's sneer, that the shifting systems of philosophy illustrate only the changing fashions of a great illusion about man's capacity for truth, plunges dogmatism into a 'Dilemma, from which it can emerge only by finding a way of discriminating a 'truth' from an 'error, and so solving the 'problem of Truth and Error. The weird verbalism of the traditional Logic suggests a problem which strikes deeper even than the question, 'What do you mean by truth? viz.: 'Do you mean anything? and so the 'problem of Meaning' is propounded by the failure of Formal Logic.
Yea, if you miss, overlook, neglect, or shirk by reason of fatigue or indolence, so much as one tittle of these several aspects of a question you might as well leave it altogether alone and give up analysis for selling stock, as did the Professor of Verbalism in the University of Adelaide to the vast solace and enrichment of his family.
