Try harder. I still have no idea what your argument is really saying. I suspect that I'm not alone.

Ok, wish me luck. Here I go.

Basically, in the "story", the man is arguing that since the other person did not know that a reason could exist that proves the color to not be yellow, therefore, he could not have known the color to be yellow.

Basically, if you do not know that a reason exists which will refute your view, you then can not take that view.



Does that help?
