Philosophers often align their brands with lost causes, because they figure that all the good ones are taken. Intellectual progress is so slow that you can pick a hill to die on, build an indefensible home there, and generations later it may still look like a fortress.
I think that you arrived at different answers than me, mostly because your epistemology is different. I erase all confidence in the absence of evidence, and rebuild from there.

There is no evidence of anything, ultimately, other than "something exists". Beyond that it's all subjective categorization. The something gets split into fractional parts and we label those parts on a whim. My epistemology led me to label things using some basic math/geometry.

There seems to be a way to derive a mathematical theory that maximizes the conformance of our models to the ground truth if what exists.
