Your response to Hameiri’s words in the introduction

That the observance of the commandments, with the intention of those who do them to serve their Creator, is sufficient for the multitude and for the whole people, but that it is fitting for individuals to come to the end of what human reason can achieve… Although I have believed in your commandments and observed the Torah, observing my Torah, I ask that you inform me of good taste and knowledge in them, not that I doubt the testimony of those who testify… And I do not attach my art (= my faith) to the investigation of these things until if my theoretical reasoning finds me to believe or deny a contradictory finding, which is indeed heresy and a complete departure from religion… That knowledge through research is praised because it is the tested and true knowledge… Provided that a sincere faith has already been established in one’s heart without false signs or errors being able to divert him from the path… “The testimony of the Lord is faithful, making wise the simple” meaning that the testimony of the Lord, blessed be He, is faithful. It is worthy of belief in it without investigations and tests, but after faith, it is worthy of being wise in its matters, and with this investigation they will complete their perfection. Purposeful in finding them from the perspective of the unattainable things for the opponents.

I agree except for one point: I do place my commitment on these investigations. If my conclusion is that there is no substance to all this, then I must relinquish my commitment.
