    The NEC rule looks immediately suspect: doesn’t it make everything true known? Actually, no: our logic only admits axioms and things that follow from them by MP. So only logical truths will be subject to the NEC rule, and these are epistemically necessary: they’re either known, or they follow from what we know, because they follow given no assumptions at all. (NEC stands for ‘necessary’, epistemically necessary in the present system.)
