Why-question/Fraassen: context-dependent - (> Relevance).
Omniscience: an omniscient being does not have an explanation, because there are no why questions for it. If it has no specific interests - because they are for it just as context-dependent as for us - Information: is not by itself an explanation. >Explanation, >Information, >Theories.
It has to be screened only by relevance considerations - i.e. an omniscient being cannot use its information if it does not restrict these - screening of information also solves the problem of asymmetry. >Asymmetry.
