Pons Asinorum

Grice was sometimes irritated by cognitive scientists, so called.

E.g. the idea of the central module in the abductive processing alla Wason and Johnson-Laird of our meta-mathematical modellings.

"Surely an ass does not need to _infer_ that the shortest line between two points is the straight one".

Much of our talk of allegedly subterranean thoughts should better be left subterranean. Etc.
