What's so good about the slide

While a slide being a dangerous instrument of proof, we have to grant with Grice that, putting the first remark aside,

"it also seems that there is sufficient difficulty

in drawing a line before ANY of the remarks 2 to 7

and claiming that to make that remark would be to

make an illegitimate transition for it to be worth

considering whether one should not, given the

non-existence of Marmaduke Bloggs [or Pegasus for

that matter] accept all seven as being,

strictly speaking, TRUE."
