P. A. Stone asked:
>>Did Grice invent HP sauce? (ambiguity warning) Or did he just
>>imply it?
Julie asks:
>HP sauce?
Donal' M(')cEvoy replies, expectedly, citing Popper (the self-hating Hun):
>Well, HP comes (I believe) from Houses of Parliament,

Now I am confused. So what was he (Popper) doing in the Houses of the
Parliament?
Anyway, he possibly soon realised that, _contra_ Henninge, there's no German
for 'conjecture' or 'refutation' (two Latinisms).
Cheers,
