Well, I'm referring to the passage in "Logic and Conversation":
"[A]nyone who cares about the goals that
are central to conversation/communication
(such as giving and receiving information,
influencing and being influenced by others)
must be expected to have an interest,
given suitable circumstances,
in participating in talk exchanges that will
be profitable only on the assumption that they
are conducted in general accordance with
the Cooperative Principle and the maxims."
WOW, p. 30.
Geary will say that, ironically, being "under the influence" is NOT one of
those 'suitable circumstances'.
