Grice on "moral" and "moral"

When he says that things like "be polite" may be 'moral' in character, he SEEMS to be implicating that 'be truthful', (Maxim of Quality, submaxim 1) _is_ not, but it _is_!

Sbisa is _very_ concerned, as I once was, about this. Vide her excellent contro (if you say 'combo' for combination, I say 'contro' for contribution) in "Heritage of Grice" for this: San Marino meeting in San Marino.
