Grice's Hazor in a Historical Perspective

Speranza

Ziff was younger than Grice. So the fact that Ziff speaks, un-Englishly, of 'Grice's eraser' should not supersede the geniality of Grice in calling his thing "Modified Occam's Razor."

Plus, Ziff formulates the thing in terms of 'dictionary entries,' and we know that Grice cared a hoot about what the dictionary says -- "And what's where you make your big mistake."
