Fascinating.  I'm trying to figure out what you mean here.  What does SOL
have to do with it?
  
SOL fails DQ/SQ because with SOL everyone should be able to arrive at an
"objective" truth, though DQ/SQ denies the existence of it?
Or
SOL fails DQ/SQ because it does not include an admission of the existence of
DQ/SQ?
Or
?

Thanks,
Mary
