Grammar
but
Hello, members!
But even the side that wins this argument has not established a truth, but it has only the probable wisdom of a particular choice. (A rhetoric of argument, Jeanne Fahnestock, Marie Secor)
Here, can I eliminate the second "but" saying there is already a conjuction "but" on the head of the sentece?

I'd eliminate the first 'but'. I'd also drop the word 'it'.
