You present your argument as being based on "self-evident" principles, which is not a good starting point. Your whole project is just classical foundationalist system-building. You present the starting points as necessary for coherency, which is fine, but it doesn't rise to the level of epistemic justification just because it's appears necessary or must be assumed. This is what retorsion isn't enough for epistemic justification. / grounded to man ?
