What I do know (rather than doubt) is that Grice did say such things, I
mean as per subject line:
"Can a sweater be red and green all over? No stripes allowed."
He thought that for his children's playmates that would be easier language
than Kant.
It seems both Witters and Grice (both analytic philosophers, unlike Gœthe)
were into the 'synthetic a priori', and oddly as it seems (vide "paradox
of analysis") it takes an analytic philosopher to detect a synthetic a
priori.
