What exactly does this mean?
Sorry:

I mean workability is not the only way to judge an explanation. And there is no way to judge what we choose as the criterion for a good explanation (there is no way to say one way of judging explanations is better than another without using another way of judging and). So there is no way to judge the judge without creating another judge to judge. Basically, at some point we just have to say this way of choosing explanations is the best way because I think so.
