[Advaita-l] [advaitin] ajnAna is different from jnAna-abhAva, mithyA-jnAna and mithyA-jnAna-samskAra

i agree - Chat's conclusion is subjectively influenced by the question.
However, the point of my Chatgpt post was not to broadcast Chat as sure
fire proof of premise but only to decipher and stimulate reflection.

Personally, I think Chat's 8 points of refutation are pretty well taken;
however if serious defense of these objections are demanded, I suggest the
only, best responses require consultation of SSSS's many texts in Sanskrit,
Kannada and English. Otherwise, Chat says it better, more completely and
with a bit of repeated instruction, better researched and argued than my
humble self.

Regards, Michael
