Basically yes. Or 'knowledge gained by the senses has its limitations' or whatever.
Only along the way, after it became clear he had nothing of philosophical interest to say, he got called on his 'I did a Masters in philosophy' claim, did the usual thing about 'It's authenticated on online resources you don't have access to', got called on that too, and then refused to post even a scan of the page of his thesis with the professors' signatures on it, because he claimed we would believe him even then. (He says the thesis was in his in real life name of 'Simon Fuchs' by the way, an identity for which no verifiable online evidence is available either. 'In the world, but not of it', one might say.)
And so on. Boring, isn't he?
I don't really believe in banning people from boards, but if I did I would suggest banning Belmont as a kind of electronic euthanasia, in order to stop him humiliating himself any further and boring the rest of us stiff in the process.
