Oh, yes, I've often heard you SAY that you know something about analytic 
philosophy or that an argument COULD be made for this or that proposition.  You 
just never get around to making any such argument.  It's about like your go 
game, I'm afraid: all bluster about what others don't get.

But let's not quibble.  You explain to me why saying that some philosophical 
proposition is nonsense is unlike Carnap saying precisely the same thing in 
precisely the same context, and I'll listen carefully.
