On the other hand:
The Wren: Who killed Cock Robin?
The Crow: I did.
Later on:
The Sparrow (to the Wren): Did the Crow name the killer?
OBVIOUS ANSWER:
The Wren: "Yes, he did.
Wittgensteinian Wren: "No, he didn't. He said that he had killed Cock
Robin. His actual words were, "I did". But as Witters says in section 410, "I"
does not name a person.
The Sparrow: Or a bird.
Cheers,
Speranza
