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)
