Turing and Grice on 'sneaky'

Speranza

One condition for communication and meaning, according to Grice, is that there should be no sneaky element. This is his 'anti-sneak' clause, in WoW -- lecture 5.

Cfr. Turing -- and Morcom's idea that the brilliant thing about a code is that it is NOT 'secret'.
