True, unless all the results of substituting in a schema like

T(x)

(where T is a predicate trivially or tautologically true of every
object in its domain) are interesting.  Which I doubt.

An even older question: do you have to have thought of something to
know it?  (That problem is in Plato's _Meno_.)
