Well, Lojban is nothing if not loose on epistemology.  After all, you can
claim something is true on the basis of a dream.  Now, the question of
whether the dream comes through is decidable on the basis of more objective
epistemologies when the time comes, but subjective epistemologies are
rather less subject to the time constraint.

I would claim that co'u citka le plise never occurred, but certainly an
event of eating the apple did start.
