But typically, for some statements such as "The Greek philosopher Plato was left-handed" I don't know whether the statement is true or not, and I also don't know whether anyone else knows whether it is true or not, and I don't know whether it is *possible*, at this late date, to find out whether it is true or not. But surely, it's either true or false, right?
