Ingvar,    (01)

Yes, the earlier discussion in May, for example at
http://ontolog.cim3.net/forum/ontolog-forum/2007-05/msg00360.html
Is very relevant to what I was thinking about.     (02)

Thanks for pointing this out.  I think that I was on vacation during a
portion of this and didn't have a chance to mull it over.    (03)

I would say that the earlier view had quite a high degree of 
truthlikeness, and that the more recent view probably has a somewhat 
higher degree of truthlikeness. (I hope have you read at least part of a    (07)

discussion on the notion of 'truthlikeness' that took place some months 
ago in this forum.)    (08)
