No, I just meant that, just because a ‘stoner’ can ask a question, doesn’t mean the answer to the question is permanently unknowable.
Edit: Or even that difficult to answer. In fact, that a stoner can ask a question is almost no evidence of anything at all. Applying principle of charity, if Scott meant that anyone can always ask that question, that’s true for any question; you can always keep asking if two plus two equals four. Now, if in fact Aaronson wants to present evidence for the claim that we can never know if your and my ‘blues and reds’ are the same, that would be cool, but there was no real argument given.
