from Wittgenstein).
... well my good-friend J, I have found another! woo hoo.
"26. We say that people condemn a man to death and then we say the Law condemns
him to death. 'Although the Jury can pardon [acquit?] him, the Law can't.'
(This MAY mean the Law can't take bribes, etc.). The idea of somethign
super-strict, something stricter than any Judge can be,** super-rigidity. The
point being, you aer inclined to ask: 'Do we have a picture of something more
rigorous?' Hardly. But we are inclined to express ourselves int eh form of a
superlative.
** Something that cannot be swayed.--R"
