Re Geary:
i. Women make me hot.------------------> literary
ii. Why do women make me hot? ----> philosophical
McEvoy comments:
"whether an expression [such as (i) is "empirical" is not determined by
logical form, or such, but can only be decided by looking at how the
expression/statement is defended or its falsity shown."
Again, the onus probandi seems to lie on McEvoy. I cannot see why Popper
would deny Geary's utterance, "Women make me hot" an empirical status.

----- my last post today -- three posts sent while Geary is still
sleeping. Is that ridiculous, or what?
