> We have no way to determine whether an explanation is true, false, or simply a post-hoc rationalization

If we have no way of determining whether something is true or false, then I can say the same thing about your own statement quoted above. I can just say it is false and go on with my life.

I sincerely hope you realize the obvious self contradiction :D

Logic 101. :)

There's no self contradiction. I never claimed that we have no way of determining whether something is true or false. I only claimed that we have no way of determining whether the explanation a person gives for how he made a decision actually matches his real mental process or motives. We can't yet install a debugger with break points and variable watches in the human mind; it's very much a black box.

Logic 201. :-)

Everything can be cast as a declarative statement.

Matches(givenStatement, actualIntention).
