-- NO, THIS IS NOT my plea that Evita Peron be saved ("Salve Regina", where "Salva" means "Hail," as in "Hail Mary" etc). Rather is to go with Grice that: 'salva veritate: why?" This is a decision. As he notes:
"Somoeone says, "Harold Wilson is a great man"; another one says, "The British Prime Minister is a great man?". Have they said the same thing? We need to preserve truth. Or not."
For this he proposes that each utterer knows what the other means. "Under those circumstances" -- hardly obtained in this corrupt world of ours, where it's only schoolboys who are held to know things, "we may safely say that they have said the same thing".
But a decision HAS been made.

substitutivity salva veritate is preserved if we only substitute for ... important for the truth of the quantification, and not just the object ...

I.e. what we have done is 'saved' "truth saved". Is that legal?
