You have answered well.
The most interesting aspect of Advaita is that by definition it is
unknowable.
Hence the only logic chopping is to confirm this aspect - full stop.
The same answer also covers the points raised about the value of language,
truth and history.
The grand thing about Advaita is that it cannot be a statement of affairs.
It can only be a state - Here there is no subject - no object and no
relationship is possible. Just a state - a state of first hand realisation
full stop.
So we come back to: - Who do we know in the contemporary times who is
established in this state? Without this link we have no handle on this
'Advaita'
What do you say :-}
