My walking from Oxford to London, my taking the train

---

Examples used by Grice to countereffect Davidson's alleged counterexample to von Wright.

ACTION 1: Grice's arrival in London, by foot.

ACTION 2: Grice's arrival in London, by train.

"Davidson's [naive] criticism of von Wright's approach
is that my walking from Oxford to London
and my taking the train from Oxford to London
would NOT be distinguishable from one antoerh by
the pairs of initial and terminal states involved."

"The problem," he confesses, "is that if the MODE of
travel -- 'by foot, by train' -- BE ADDED or brought
in (a distinction between WALKING to London and
'training' to London), then, reference to the
initial state has now been rendered otiose."
