This reflects a somewhat idiosyncratic conception of truth.

To  say something or set of things is false is NOT equivalent  to 
saying  one  disagrees  with it or them. If JB says  the  sun  is 
1000000  miles  from  the  earth,  and  I  say  it  is  (roughly) 
93,000,000 miles, it does not come down to a disagreement between 
DL  and  JB,  but one between the statements  and  the  empirical 
facts. 

In my note to Rickert, I am asking for the empirical facts.
