Right, right, experience. Experience can show you things, like when a principle applies very well to one situation, but encounters difficulty when applied to a slightly different situation. So the "grouping of situations" is another very complex task that has to be assumed is accomplished with "fundamental" truths.

And once the fundamental principles and fundamental situations are established, we keep them that way forever-- that's why we still chop people's hands off for stealing.
