It's interesting that Tarski (a philosopher Popper admired)  thought that 
'snow [was] white' was _analytic (along with 'grass is green'). It  takes more 
than an Eskimo to refute that, as McEvoy shows.
 
When they read "Snowwhite and the Seven Dwarfs", how do the Eskimos  
translate 'dwarf', then?
 
Cheers,
 
JL
