Then may I humbly suggest that you replace the work "Encyclopedia" (Circle 
of Human Knowledge") with a word or phrase that reflects a "Circle of Human 
Opinion". If you are rejecting the concept of "what is known to be true by 
the best means available to us at this time" then surely you ought to 
reject the name we use for that?
