    Supports→If we have good reason to believe that p is true and good reason to believe that q is true, then we have good reason to believe that p and q are logically consistent, even without understanding how they could be mutually consistent.

    Motion is actual, hence possible, despite one's inability in the teeth of Zenonian considerations to understand how it is possible.

    If we have good reason to believe that p is true, and good reason to believe that q is true, then we have good reason to believe that p and q are logically consistent (with each other) despite an absence of understanding as to how they could be mutually consistent. What is actual is possible whether or not one can render intelligible how it is possible. For example, motion is actual, hence possible, despite one’s inability in the teeth of Zenonian considerations to understand how it is possible. Many similar examples could be given.
