"I think there are many things that can profitably be discussed in these meetings, but I draw the line at epistemology."

What crazy talk is this! How can there even begin to be a meeting if there's no frank discussion epistemology!

First of all, how do we know that there is a meeting? How do we know that we know that there is a meeting?

Exactly! Such basic questions are left unanswered if epistemology is banned from the meeting room.

How can we care? What does it mean for a meeting to be mandatory? These are all reasonable topics of discussion, but they must generally be resolved before a meeting can take place -- or at least before a meeting can be agreed to have taken place.
