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

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.
