To even do a "test" you are assuming the truth of the axioms already. There is really no escape from epistemology. Axioms are simply accepted on faith, and everything is built on top of them.

No, I'm not assuming that.

That's why I added "I remember".
If I can't trust my memory at all, then it doesn't really matter what I do.
But I can put that as a disclaimer over everything if I really want to. I don't have to assume.
And I feel like you've gone way beyond the original scope at this point. If I don't feel like considering the "brain in a jar also the brain only started existing 2 seconds ago" theory right now, my decision to ignore it comes long before I even start worrying about science. If my decision is wrong, it's not a problem with science.
