Wish I'd thought of those.  But I'd had said: "Bad, dogma, bad!".  I'm sure 
JL's familiar with the bumper sticker: "My karma ran over my dogma."  If not 
before, he is now .

    there you go with the dogma. I don't do dogma.

  Exactly.

  Anyway, Grice and Strawson wrote this essay, "In defense of a dogma". Not 
that they liked the expression, but that person once associated with who Grice 
later refers to as the 'rednecks of Vienna' (PPQ, 1988) had written on "Two 
dogmas of empiricism".

  Years later, Grice confided (WOW, x) that this grandee of his student, 
Grandy, would with mischief point out that 

  Cheers,

  JL
