Could not agree more. In fact, I find Foucault's Pendulum, in many ways, very strongly supports skepticism in all realms. And adds the sort of lovely literary tinge that if anything can be made to "prove" anything (in "The Plan"), then of course nothing truly proves anything. And so the age of modernity/reason leaves us flailing in uncertainty (science is always skeptical, never certain). And it's such a hoot to boot.
