McEvoy elsewhere reminds us "how phenomenalism is most "effectively attacked". Darwinian theory more or less destroys it."
Grice would agree. In "Grice" by Chapman, Chapman provides a good quote to the effect that it's things or objects ('material objects', if you must) which threaten us. Not sense data.
Still Grice had a liking for sense-datum theories, along with many Oxonian philosophers of his generation, notably Isaiah Berlin. Berlin's essay now recovered by Hardy in Clarendon's paperback, "Concepts and categories".
