But now you are entering into philosophy. What does a “correct answer” even mean for a question like “is it safe to lick your fingers after using a soldering iron with leaded solder?”. I would assert that there is no “correct answer” to a question like that.
Is it safe? Probably. But it depends, right? How did you handle the solder? How often are you using the solder? Were you wearing gloves? Did you wash your hands before licking your fingers? What is your age? Why are you asking the question? Did you already lick your fingers and need to know if you should see a doctor? Is it hypothetical?
There is no “correct answer” to that question. Some answers are better than others, yes, but you cannot have a “correct answer”.
And I did assert we are entering into philosophy and what it means to know something as well as what truth even means.
