Hiroshima.Splitting an atomic fact could not do that, as far as I know.

Perhaps you can give us an example. Kilgariff went further than Grice, "I
don't believe in senses!", he would say.
Ritchie's example
A: And what is your name?
B: Patsy.
A: Oh excellent. We're always happy to welcome a patsy.
precisely TRADES on 'patsy' have just ONE sense ("Patsy Bolivar", in fact),
_pace_ Frege who naïvely (and wrongly, and oddly for a man called Gottlob)
thought that proper names have no sense, only denotatum.
