why would it not be nonsense when the utterances are observable only to
the speaker and listener who, in this case, are the same person?"
Bruce responds:
If it is nonsense to say X, then it follows it is nonsense to say that X
is observed by anyone.
But how did you get to the conclusion that it is nonsense to say phrase
X? Is the exact phrase, those particular words that are nonsense or is
it the meaning of the uterance expressed in the words nonsense?
