Based on the following (Lila, p. 99) I'd say he would.
[...] if Quality or excellence is seen as the ultimate reality then it
becomes possible for more than one set of truths to exist. Then one
doesn't seek the absolute "Truth." One seeks instead the highest
quality intellectual explanation of things with the knowledge that if the
past is any guide to the future this explanation must be taken
provisionally; as useful until something better comes along.
