- I had previously observed that, in practical matters, it is sometimes necessary to accept highly uncertain opinions as if they were beyond doubt. However, since I wanted to focus solely on the search for truth, I believed the opposite approach was needed. I decided to reject as absolutely false any opinion that had even the slightest reason for doubt, to see if anything remained in my beliefs that was completely beyond doubt.
- Lake Huron (Wikipedia)
Lake Huron (/ˈhjʊərɒn, -ən/ HURE-on, -ən) is one of the five Great Lakes of North America. Hydrologically, it comprises the easterly portion of Lake Michigan–Huron, having the same surface elevation as Lake Michigan, to which it is connected by the 5-mile-wide (8.0 km), 20-fathom-deep (120 ft; 37 m) Straits of Mackinac. It is shared on the north and east by the Canadian province of Ontario and on the south and west by the U.S. state of Michigan. The name of the lake is derived from early French explorers who named it for the indigenous people they knew as Huron (Wyandot) inhabiting the region.
