Adapted from McEvoy.
Grice: So what you uttered was a definition, reached via conceptual
analysis.
Popper: I don't think so. I mean, I never said it was.
Grice: But it _is_ really.
Popper: But I don't think I didn't even use that _form_ we use for a
definition.
Grice: True to form, but still it was one, you know.
Popper: He only he I was just proposing what I said.
Grice: And why is 'demarcate' your second word, almost?
Popper: Demarcate?
Grice (offended): Abgrenzung.
Popper: Ah, you mean [using correct Teutonic pronunication to offend
Grice], as in Abgrenzungskriterium.
Grice: Something like that.
Popper: I thought it sounded nice.
Grice: But what is to demarcate if not to define?
Popper: I grant that to demarcate is exactly like to define -- only
different.
Cheers,
Speranza
