Summary/Abstract: Joseph Salerno has attempted to provide an account of how anti-realist views concerning the nature of truth motivate intuitionistic revisions of logic. I will show that Salerno’s motivations can succeed granting the principles of inference that he assumes, but that further and more epistemically immodest presuppositions will be required. It is doubtful if a case resting upon these added presuppositions can succeed.
