Münchhausen trilemma

Original Question
I saw this www.logicallyfallacious.c. . . but there is no mention of the Münchhausen trilemma anywhere on this site from what I can tell. Any thoughts on this as it relates to finding valid conclusions to any premise?

Thanks

Theory of knowledge doesnt really coincide with logical proofs. It's more a matter of what's more logical or most logical than whether the logic has valid knowledge i thought.
I consider the Münchhausen trilemma an extreme example of an 'argument from ignorance.'
Only to say that it is probably not mentioned because:
Nobody knows;
Everybody knows, but nobody is telling; or
Because it is ubiquitous and has therefore never become a question.

(Is that what you mean?)
