I'll give it a go.

Competeing claims to a single possibility don't argue for a multiplicity of correct answers. If you say that 4 x 12 = 48 and I claim that 4 x 12 = 67, just because we have competing truth claims doesn't mean that we have no grounds for deciding between them.

If your metaphysical claim is "No truth except what can be mutually inclusive"

and Onyxcougar's metaphysical claims is "There is a specific and accurate revelation of God to us, and it has authoritative claim", just because there are competing claims doesn't mean we have some sort of logical quandry here. We should do what we always do ... evaluate the justification for each claim. There's nothing arbitrary about it.
