Steven,
but there is an important difference between Pyrrhonian and Academic Skepticism. The first do what you say, simply suspend judgment. The second ones, especially Carneades and Cicero, go a bit further by assigning probabilities to claim. In that case, to demolish a claim means to show that it has exceedingly low probability. Like Cicero masterfully does in On Divination.
