Question 5 depends on a normative argument. Whatever "should" is it will be defined by an answer to 4. The principle to tell us what we should do and whether our explanations should change depends on what we said we should do. Since I didn't give a real answer to 4, instead saying that the principles that we depend on have no provable being, I cannot answer 5. In other words, 5 depends on an answer to 4.
