If A knows something about B and B knows that A knows (but A thinks that B doesn't know he knows) should A tell B that he knows what he knows? Or should B tell A that he knows that he knows what he knows? To further complicate the situation: if what A knows about B is only partially correct (and B knows that what A knows is only partially correct) should B inform A that what he knows is not fully correct? Or, alternatively, should B tell C that what A knows is only partially correct? If B chooses this alternative would he have to reveal to C what it is that A knows about B? May B tell C what it is that A knows about B which is incorrect? If C knows that what A knows about B is incorrect (at least partially) should he inform D - who is very close to A - that A knows something about B that is partially incorrect? Please let me have your thoughts on this matter because I am very confused.



The paradox has often been noted that the United States, founded in secularism, is now the most religiose country in Christendom, while England, with an established church headed by its constitutional monarch, is among the least. (Richard Dawkins, 2006)
