The Expert Knowledge: "Seems odd, and odd to say it. Still, I suppose he actually wrote the 'MSS.' for those books if he did write them..."
"Isn't there some 'grey area' to this, though?"
"Not really. It's just that you don't 'discuss details of authorial composition' in public, and the name of pseudonyms or noms des plumes is so great that it seems implausible as such."
"So it's not true, hah hah!"
"That's not what that statement says."
"Honestly, once you guys give up 'doxxing' or 'dithering' things he's the author of those books under those 'pen-names', or not. It doesn't really have a 'gray area', really."
"Really?"
"More like 'truly'."
"Ahh, I see this."
"So you're saying he's "Alain Badiou'?"
"You don't meet Alain Badiou 'in person', no."
"But it could somehow be that he - this freaking weird US resident - wrote the texts associated with these 'pen-names'?"
"That's how writing books works, yes, it sure could be, at least in part."
"Is that really 'how that works', though?"
"Yes, it is. However, you don't discuss the topic of authorship in public."
"So there'd be 'precious little' evidence available to back these claims up, as a general rule?"
Yeah, pretty much. "Story of my life", etc.
"Maybe you would... care to speak on the battle of Gettysburg today?"
I already did.
"Is it sometimes written..."
No, no it isn't.
"Its anniversary was yesterday, I take it?"
I believe that's so.
"1863 was a long time ago, though."
Sure was, definitely. But we are even not talking about 1862 or 1864, right?
"Yeah, that kind of thing, sure."
Wider World:
"So there are some determinate matters of fact that are non-problematic, we sure know they are thus-and-such."
"Obviously."

"Yes, it is. However, you don't discuss the topic of authorship in public."
"So there'd be 'precious little' evidence available to back these claims up, as a general rule?"
Yeah, pretty much. "Story of my life", etc.
"Maybe you would... care to speak on the battle of Gettysburg today?"
I already did.
"Is it sometimes written..."
No, no it isn't.
"Its anniversary was yesterday, I take it?"
I believe that's so.
"1863 was a long time ago, though."
Sure was, definitely. But we are even not talking about 1862 or 1864, right?
"Yeah, that kind of thing, sure."
"So there are some determinate matters of fact that are non-problematic, we sure know they are thus-and-such."
"Obviously."
"Like how Henry Kissinger and Sandra Day O'Connor died recently, it's just so, etc."
Or George Santos was expelled from Congress, sure, 'it's like that for real' stuff.
Poofy Cheese: "So, what's Philip Pettit got to say?"
"I don't live in Spain." Would you like to hear from John Mearsheimer instead?
"No, I wouldn't."
Got it.
"What's with the Prix Goncourt?"
It's not very prestigious?
"Oh, I don't believe you."
No, really? Like 'if you knew a thing' really?

The Expert Knowledge: "Seems odd, and odd to say it. Still, I suppose he actually wrote the 'MSS.' for those books if he did write them..."
"Isn't there some 'grey area' to this, though?"
"Not really. It's just that you don't 'discuss details of authorial composition' in public, and the name of pseudonyms or noms des plumes is so great that it seems implausible as such."
"So it's not true, hah hah!"
"That's not what that statement says."
"Honestly, once you guys give up 'doxxing' or 'dithering' things he's the author of those books under those 'pen-names', or not. It doesn't really have a 'gray area', really."
"Really?"
"More like 'truly'."
"Ahh, I see this."
"So you're saying he's "Alain Badiou'?"
"You don't meet Alain Badiou 'in person', no."
"But it could somehow be that he - this freaking weird US resident - wrote the texts associated with these 'pen-names'?"
"That's how writing books works, yes, it sure could be, at least in part."
"Is that really 'how that works', though?"
"Yes, it is. However, you don't discuss the topic of authorship in public."

Poofy Cheese:
"Oh no, that is a very select thing about the newest fashions in modernist literature, like Jonathan Littell's *Les bienviellantes*."
Really, and this has something to do with the remembered character and reputation of the Goncourt brothers, the Prix Goncourt
winner is a sensationalistic 'litter-box-liner' more than English-language 'stans' would realize.
"Oh no, that won't do."
It's true and it 'won't do'?

Yeah, pretty much. "Story of my life", etc.

I already did.
"Is it sometimes written..."
No, no it isn't.

Sure was, definitely. But we are even not talking about 1862 or 1864, right?
"Yeah, that kind of thing, sure."
"So there are some determinate matters of fact that are non-problematic, we sure know they are thus-and-such."
"Obviously."

"But it could somehow be that he - this freaking weird US resident - wrote the texts associated with these 'pen-names'?"
"That's how writing books works, yes, it sure could be, at least in part."
"Is that really 'how that works', though?"
"Yes, it is. However, you don't discuss the topic of authorship in public."
"So there'd be 'precious little' evidence available to back these claims up, as a general rule?"
Yeah, pretty much. "Story of my life", etc.
"Maybe you would... care to speak on the battle of Gettysburg today?"
I already did.
"Is it sometimes written..."
No, no it isn't.
"Its anniversary was yesterday, I take it?"
I believe that's so.
"1863 was a long time ago, though."
Sure was, definitely. But we are even not talking about 1862 or 1864, right?
"Yeah, that kind of thing, sure."
"So there are some determinate matters of fact that are non-problematic, we sure know they are thus-and-such."
"Obviously."
"Like how Henry Kissinger and Sandra Day O'Connor died recently, it's just so, etc."
Or George Santos was expelled from Congress, sure, 'it's like that for real' stuff.
Poofy Cheese: "So, what's Philip Pettit got to say?"
"I don't live in Spain." Would you like to hear from John Mearsheimer instead?
"No, I wouldn't."
Got it.
"What's with the Prix Goncourt?"
It's not very prestigious?
"Oh, I don't believe you."
No, really? Like 'if you knew a thing' really?
"Oh no, that is a very select thing about the newest fashions in modernist literature, like Jonathan Littell's *Les bienviellantes*."
Really, and this has something to do with the remembered character and reputation of the Goncourt brothers, the Prix Goncourt
winner is a sensationalistic 'litter-box-liner' more than English-language 'stans' would realize.
"Oh no, that won't do."
It's true and it 'won't do'?
"It's 'not so'."
In the sense of the German *Nicht so...*, where the behavior is too rude to be a 'normal go-to' of anybody sane about everyday life?
"Right. It's 'not so'."
No, sometimes things which are *nicht so* 'factually obtain', are actual but awkward. Got it?
The world isn't just the plaything of your words.
"I thought this was obvious."
It isn't 'obvious' to such people.
"So, like, when you just say that you're 'Robert W. Merry'..."
Oh, point taken.
"Like, how am I to know that..."
Aren't lots of facts 'verification-transcendent' with respect to oneself, though?
"Like, I myself couldn't quite figure out whether what you say is true? I don't like that."
About "I don't like that", and about how that'd be about how it really was most of the time?

The Expert Knowledge: "Seems odd, and odd to say it. Still, I suppose he actually wrote the 'MSS.' for those books if he did write them..."
"Isn't there some 'grey area' to this, though?"
"Not really. It's just that you don't 'discuss details of authorial composition' in public, and the name of pseudonyms or noms des plumes is so great that it seems implausible as such."
"So it's not true, hah hah!"
"That's not what that statement says."
"Honestly, once you guys give up 'doxxing' or 'dithering' things he's the author of those books under those 'pen-names', or not. It doesn't really have a 'gray area', really."

"I can't believe you!"

"Yeah, that's true."
So maybe I couldn't tell whether the reports were genuine or not?

The Expert Knowledge: "Seems odd, and odd to say it. Still, I suppose he actually wrote the 'MSS.' for those books if he did write them..."
"Isn't there some 'grey area' to this, though?"
"Not really. It's just that you don't 'discuss details of authorial composition' in public, and the name of pseudonyms or noms des plumes is so great that it seems implausible as such."
"So it's not true, hah hah!"
"That's not what that statement says."
"Honestly, once you guys give up 'doxxing' or 'dithering' things he's the author of those books under those 'pen-names', or not. It doesn't really have a 'gray area', really."
"Really?"
"More like 'truly'."
"Ahh, I see this."
"So you're saying he's "Alain Badiou'?"
"You don't meet Alain Badiou 'in person', no."
"But it could somehow be that he - this freaking weird US resident - wrote the texts associated with these 'pen-names'?"
"That's how writing books works, yes, it sure could be, at least in part."
"Is that really 'how that works', though?"
"Yes, it is. However, you don't discuss the topic of authorship in public."
"So there'd be 'precious little' evidence available to back these claims up, as a general rule?"
Yeah, pretty much. "Story of my life", etc.
"Maybe you would... care to speak on the battle of Gettysburg today?"
I already did.
"Is it sometimes written..."
No, no it isn't.
"Its anniversary was yesterday, I take it?"
I believe that's so.
"1863 was a long time ago, though."
Sure was, definitely. But we are even not talking about 1862 or 1864, right?
"Yeah, that kind of thing, sure."
"So there are some determinate matters of fact that are non-problematic, we sure know they are thus-and-such."
"Obviously."
"Like how Henry Kissinger and Sandra Day O'Connor died recently, it's just so, etc."
Or George Santos was expelled from Congress, sure, 'it's like that for real' stuff.
Poofy Cheese: "So, what's Philip Pettit got to say?"
"I don't live in Spain." Would you like to hear from John Mearsheimer instead?
"No, I wouldn't."
Got it.
"What's with the Prix Goncourt?"
It's not very prestigious?
"Oh, I don't believe you."
No, really? Like 'if you knew a thing' really?
"Oh no, that is a very select thing about the newest fashions in modernist literature, like Jonathan Littell's *Les bienviellantes*."
Really, and this has something to do with the remembered character and reputation of the Goncourt brothers, the Prix Goncourt
winner is a sensationalistic 'litter-box-liner' more than English-language 'stans' would realize.
"Oh no, that won't do."
It's true and it 'won't do'?
"It's 'not so'."
In the sense of the German *Nicht so...*, where the behavior is too rude to be a 'normal go-to' of anybody sane about everyday life?
"Right. It's 'not so'."
No, sometimes things which are *nicht so* 'factually obtain', are actual but awkward. Got it?
The world isn't just the plaything of your words.
"I thought this was obvious."
It isn't 'obvious' to such people.
"So, like, when you just say that you're 'Robert W. Merry'..."
Oh, point taken.
"Like, how am I to know that..."
Aren't lots of facts 'verification-transcendent' with respect to oneself, though?
"Like, I myself couldn't quite figure out whether what you say is true? I don't like that."
About "I don't like that", and about how that'd be about how it really was most of the time?
Is Andre Braugher really dead, for example?
"I can't believe you!"
But sometimes those things aren't real, it's an entertainment identity they've jettisoned?
"Yeah, that's true."
So maybe I couldn't tell whether the reports were genuine or not?
"Well, either he is or he isn't! There's not a 'middle ground', there."
That's called 'bivalence' in philosophy of language.
"Yeah, 'true or false but not both'. I think we think most factual assertions fall in the 'bivalent' category..."
Yeah, I think so too.
"So, yeah, with most of the stuff you tell us about, Mr. R, it either is or isn't the way you say it is. It's 'bivalent'. But we're not practically going to
know whether you're telling the truth, including because the topics discussed are not interesting enough for us to spend much time on..."

The Expert Knowledge: "Seems odd, and odd to say it. Still, I suppose he actually wrote the 'MSS.' for those books if he did write them..."
"Isn't there some 'grey area' to this, though?"
"Not really. It's just that you don't 'discuss details of authorial composition' in public, and the name of pseudonyms or noms des plumes is so great that it seems implausible as such."
"So it's not true, hah hah!"
"That's not what that statement says."
"Honestly, once you guys give up 'doxxing' or 'dithering' things he's the author of those books under those 'pen-names', or not. It doesn't really have a 'gray area', really."
"Really?"
"More like 'truly'."
"Ahh, I see this."
"So you're saying he's "Alain Badiou'?"
"You don't meet Alain Badiou 'in person', no."
"But it could somehow be that he - this freaking weird US resident - wrote the texts associated with these 'pen-names'?"
"That's how writing books works, yes, it sure could be, at least in part."
"Is that really 'how that works', though?"
"Yes, it is. However, you don't discuss the topic of authorship in public."
"So there'd be 'precious little' evidence available to back these claims up, as a general rule?"
Yeah, pretty much. "Story of my life", etc.
"Maybe you would... care to speak on the battle of Gettysburg today?"
I already did.
"Is it sometimes written..."
No, no it isn't.
"Its anniversary was yesterday, I take it?"
I believe that's so.
"1863 was a long time ago, though."
Sure was, definitely. But we are even not talking about 1862 or 1864, right?
"Yeah, that kind of thing, sure."
"So there are some determinate matters of fact that are non-problematic, we sure know they are thus-and-such."
"Obviously."
"Like how Henry Kissinger and Sandra Day O'Connor died recently, it's just so, etc."
Or George Santos was expelled from Congress, sure, 'it's like that for real' stuff.
Poofy Cheese: "So, what's Philip Pettit got to say?"
"I don't live in Spain." Would you like to hear from John Mearsheimer instead?
"No, I wouldn't."
Got it.
"What's with the Prix Goncourt?"
It's not very prestigious?
"Oh, I don't believe you."
No, really? Like 'if you knew a thing' really?
"Oh no, that is a very select thing about the newest fashions in modernist literature, like Jonathan Littell's *Les bienviellantes*."
Really, and this has something to do with the remembered character and reputation of the Goncourt brothers, the Prix Goncourt
winner is a sensationalistic 'litter-box-liner' more than English-language 'stans' would realize.
"Oh no, that won't do."
It's true and it 'won't do'?
"It's 'not so'."
In the sense of the German *Nicht so...*, where the behavior is too rude to be a 'normal go-to' of anybody sane about everyday life?
"Right. It's 'not so'."
No, sometimes things which are *nicht so* 'factually obtain', are actual but awkward. Got it?
The world isn't just the plaything of your words.
"I thought this was obvious."
It isn't 'obvious' to such people.
"So, like, when you just say that you're 'Robert W. Merry'..."
Oh, point taken.
"Like, how am I to know that..."
Aren't lots of facts 'verification-transcendent' with respect to oneself, though?
"Like, I myself couldn't quite figure out whether what you say is true? I don't like that."
About "I don't like that", and about how that'd be about how it really was most of the time?
Is Andre Braugher really dead, for example?
"I can't believe you!"
But sometimes those things aren't real, it's an entertainment identity they've jettisoned?
"Yeah, that's true."
So maybe I couldn't tell whether the reports were genuine or not?
"Well, either he is or he isn't! There's not a 'middle ground', there."
That's called 'bivalence' in philosophy of language.
"Yeah, 'true or false but not both'. I think we think most factual assertions fall in the 'bivalent' category..."
Yeah, I think so too.
"So, yeah, with most of the stuff you tell us about, Mr. R, it either is or isn't the way you say it is. It's 'bivalent'. But we're not practically going to
know whether you're telling the truth, including because the topics discussed are not interesting enough for us to spend much time on..."
Sure, but these people are so dense about the logical "problem of trichotomy" they never get to that...
Really: for most all intents and purposes a 'thing asserted' is true or not, and you care or not (it's not the sort of thing you worry about, etc.)
These people just have an endless buffet of 'logical hair-splitting' and misdirection set before them as though it could be all the world...
"Can't it, though? Couldn't they work out a 'cover-all description' of life today that obviated all criticisms?"
In practice, no. You don't know what to do for such an 'illusionist' when they ask something practical of you, etc.

The Expert Knowledge: "Seems odd, and odd to say it. Still, I suppose he actually wrote the 'MSS.' for those books if he did write them..."
"Isn't there some 'grey area' to this, though?"
"Not really. It's just that you don't 'discuss details of authorial composition' in public, and the name of pseudonyms or noms des plumes is so great that it seems implausible as such."
"So it's not true, hah hah!"
"That's not what that statement says."
"Honestly, once you guys give up 'doxxing' or 'dithering' things he's the author of those books under those 'pen-names', or not. It doesn't really have a 'gray area', really."
"Really?"
"More like 'truly'."
"Ahh, I see this."
"So you're saying he's "Alain Badiou'?"
"You don't meet Alain Badiou 'in person', no."
"But it could somehow be that he - this freaking weird US resident - wrote the texts associated with these 'pen-names'?"
"That's how writing books works, yes, it sure could be, at least in part."
"Is that really 'how that works', though?"
"Yes, it is. However, you don't discuss the topic of authorship in public."
"So there'd be 'precious little' evidence available to back these claims up, as a general rule?"
Yeah, pretty much. "Story of my life", etc.
"Maybe you would... care to speak on the battle of Gettysburg today?"
I already did.
"Is it sometimes written..."
No, no it isn't.
"Its anniversary was yesterday, I take it?"
I believe that's so.
"1863 was a long time ago, though."
Sure was, definitely. But we are even not talking about 1862 or 1864, right?
"Yeah, that kind of thing, sure."
"So there are some determinate matters of fact that are non-problematic, we sure know they are thus-and-such."
"Obviously."
"Like how Henry Kissinger and Sandra Day O'Connor died recently, it's just so, etc."
Or George Santos was expelled from Congress, sure, 'it's like that for real' stuff.
Poofy Cheese: "So, what's Philip Pettit got to say?"
"I don't live in Spain." Would you like to hear from John Mearsheimer instead?
"No, I wouldn't."
Got it.
"What's with the Prix Goncourt?"
It's not very prestigious?
"Oh, I don't believe you."
No, really? Like 'if you knew a thing' really?
"Oh no, that is a very select thing about the newest fashions in modernist literature, like Jonathan Littell's *Les bienviellantes*."
Really, and this has something to do with the remembered character and reputation of the Goncourt brothers, the Prix Goncourt
winner is a sensationalistic 'litter-box-liner' more than English-language 'stans' would realize.
"Oh no, that won't do."
It's true and it 'won't do'?
"It's 'not so'."
In the sense of the German *Nicht so...*, where the behavior is too rude to be a 'normal go-to' of anybody sane about everyday life?
"Right. It's 'not so'."
No, sometimes things which are *nicht so* 'factually obtain', are actual but awkward. Got it?
The world isn't just the plaything of your words.
"I thought this was obvious."
It isn't 'obvious' to such people.
"So, like, when you just say that you're 'Robert W. Merry'..."
Oh, point taken.
"Like, how am I to know that..."
Aren't lots of facts 'verification-transcendent' with respect to oneself, though?
"Like, I myself couldn't quite figure out whether what you say is true? I don't like that."
About "I don't like that", and about how that'd be about how it really was most of the time?
Is Andre Braugher really dead, for example?
"I can't believe you!"
But sometimes those things aren't real, it's an entertainment identity they've jettisoned?
"Yeah, that's true."
So maybe I couldn't tell whether the reports were genuine or not?
"Well, either he is or he isn't! There's not a 'middle ground', there."
That's called 'bivalence' in philosophy of language.
"Yeah, 'true or false but not both'. I think we think most factual assertions fall in the 'bivalent' category..."
Yeah, I think so too.
"So, yeah, with most of the stuff you tell us about, Mr. R, it either is or isn't the way you say it is. It's 'bivalent'. But we're not practically going to
know whether you're telling the truth, including because the topics discussed are not interesting enough for us to spend much time on..."
Sure, but these people are so dense about the logical "problem of trichotomy" they never get to that...
Really: for most all intents and purposes a 'thing asserted' is true or not, and you care or not (it's not the sort of thing you worry about, etc.)
These people just have an endless buffet of 'logical hair-splitting' and misdirection set before them as though it could be all the world...
"Can't it, though? Couldn't they work out a 'cover-all description' of life today that obviated all criticisms?"
In practice, no. You don't know what to do for such an 'illusionist' when they ask something practical of you, etc.
Wider World: Today is only Tuesday, even if you need a "cleverer" idea.
"What will you do on Wednesday?"
Gee, I don't know.
"Well, now it's Wednesday. So I guess you'll find out!"

The Expert Knowledge: "Seems odd, and odd to say it. Still, I suppose he actually wrote the 'MSS.' for those books if he did write them..."
"Isn't there some 'grey area' to this, though?"
"Not really. It's just that you don't 'discuss details of authorial composition' in public, and the name of pseudonyms or noms des plumes is so great that it seems implausible as such."
"So it's not true, hah hah!"
"That's not what that statement says."
"Honestly, once you guys give up 'doxxing' or 'dithering' things he's the author of those books under those 'pen-names', or not. It doesn't really have a 'gray area', really."
"Really?"
"More like 'truly'."
"Ahh, I see this."
"So you're saying he's "Alain Badiou'?"
"You don't meet Alain Badiou 'in person', no."
"But it could somehow be that he - this freaking weird US resident - wrote the texts associated with these 'pen-names'?"
"That's how writing books works, yes, it sure could be, at least in part."
"Is that really 'how that works', though?"
"Yes, it is. However, you don't discuss the topic of authorship in public."
"So there'd be 'precious little' evidence available to back these claims up, as a general rule?"
Yeah, pretty much. "Story of my life", etc.
"Maybe you would... care to speak on the battle of Gettysburg today?"
I already did.
"Is it sometimes written..."
No, no it isn't.
"Its anniversary was yesterday, I take it?"
I believe that's so.
"1863 was a long time ago, though."
Sure was, definitely. But we are even not talking about 1862 or 1864, right?
"Yeah, that kind of thing, sure."
"So there are some determinate matters of fact that are non-problematic, we sure know they are thus-and-such."
"Obviously."
"Like how Henry Kissinger and Sandra Day O'Connor died recently, it's just so, etc."
Or George Santos was expelled from Congress, sure, 'it's like that for real' stuff.
Poofy Cheese: "So, what's Philip Pettit got to say?"
"I don't live in Spain." Would you like to hear from John Mearsheimer instead?
"No, I wouldn't."
Got it.
"What's with the Prix Goncourt?"
It's not very prestigious?
"Oh, I don't believe you."
No, really? Like 'if you knew a thing' really?
"Oh no, that is a very select thing about the newest fashions in modernist literature, like Jonathan Littell's *Les bienviellantes*."
Really, and this has something to do with the remembered character and reputation of the Goncourt brothers, the Prix Goncourt
winner is a sensationalistic 'litter-box-liner' more than English-language 'stans' would realize.
"Oh no, that won't do."
It's true and it 'won't do'?
"It's 'not so'."
In the sense of the German *Nicht so...*, where the behavior is too rude to be a 'normal go-to' of anybody sane about everyday life?
"Right. It's 'not so'."
No, sometimes things which are *nicht so* 'factually obtain', are actual but awkward. Got it?
The world isn't just the plaything of your words.
"I thought this was obvious."
It isn't 'obvious' to such people.
"So, like, when you just say that you're 'Robert W. Merry'..."
Oh, point taken.
"Like, how am I to know that..."
Aren't lots of facts 'verification-transcendent' with respect to oneself, though?
"Like, I myself couldn't quite figure out whether what you say is true? I don't like that."
About "I don't like that", and about how that'd be about how it really was most of the time?
Is Andre Braugher really dead, for example?
"I can't believe you!"
But sometimes those things aren't real, it's an entertainment identity they've jettisoned?
"Yeah, that's true."
So maybe I couldn't tell whether the reports were genuine or not?
"Well, either he is or he isn't! There's not a 'middle ground', there."
That's called 'bivalence' in philosophy of language.
"Yeah, 'true or false but not both'. I think we think most factual assertions fall in the 'bivalent' category..."
Yeah, I think so too.
"So, yeah, with most of the stuff you tell us about, Mr. R, it either is or isn't the way you say it is. It's 'bivalent'. But we're not practically going to
know whether you're telling the truth, including because the topics discussed are not interesting enough for us to spend much time on..."
Sure, but these people are so dense about the logical "problem of trichotomy" they never get to that...
Really: for most all intents and purposes a 'thing asserted' is true or not, and you care or not (it's not the sort of thing you worry about, etc.)
These people just have an endless buffet of 'logical hair-splitting' and misdirection set before them as though it could be all the world...
"Can't it, though? Couldn't they work out a 'cover-all description' of life today that obviated all criticisms?"
In practice, no. You don't know what to do for such an 'illusionist' when they ask something practical of you, etc.
Wider World: Today is only Tuesday, even if you need a "cleverer" idea.
"What will you do on Wednesday?"
Gee, I don't know.
"Well, now it's Wednesday. So I guess you'll find out!"
"What's with 'John A. Heldt'?"
It was an old US naming convention. 'Can you tell... you shouldn't read too much into things?'
"Compared to, say, 'Mark Z. Danielewski'?"
A newer thought: 'Try to stay human'.
So the one of them wouldn't really necessarily be "John A Hero"?
Sure, and maybe your promise to keep it "Danielewski" would not exactly work out either.
"Oh, I'd keep it..."
I don't think you understand the 'jocose' mode of speech being used.

Sure, and maybe your promise to keep it "Danielewski" would not exactly work out either.
"Oh, I'd keep it..."
I don't think you understand the 'jocose' mode of speech being used.
"You're trying to hem me in here..."
No, you can 'think what you want' about this topic. You just can't do *someone else's* thinking for them.
"Oh, but I would really just know that..."
"No, but"... that's not how literary history (of which such questions are a subdepartment) works.

The Expert Knowledge: "Seems odd, and odd to say it. Still, I suppose he actually wrote the 'MSS.' for those books if he did write them..."
"Isn't there some 'grey area' to this, though?"
"Not really. It's just that you don't 'discuss details of authorial composition' in public, and the name of pseudonyms or noms des plumes is so great that it seems implausible as such."
"So it's not true, hah hah!"
"That's not what that statement says."
"Honestly, once you guys give up 'doxxing' or 'dithering' things he's the author of those books under those 'pen-names', or not. It doesn't really have a 'gray area', really."
"Really?"
"More like 'truly'."
"Ahh, I see this."
"So you're saying he's "Alain Badiou'?"
"You don't meet Alain Badiou 'in person', no."
"But it could somehow be that he - this freaking weird US resident - wrote the texts associated with these 'pen-names'?"
"That's how writing books works, yes, it sure could be, at least in part."
"Is that really 'how that works', though?"
"Yes, it is. However, you don't discuss the topic of authorship in public."
"So there'd be 'precious little' evidence available to back these claims up, as a general rule?"
Yeah, pretty much. "Story of my life", etc.
"Maybe you would... care to speak on the battle of Gettysburg today?"
I already did.
"Is it sometimes written..."
No, no it isn't.
"Its anniversary was yesterday, I take it?"
I believe that's so.
"1863 was a long time ago, though."
Sure was, definitely. But we are even not talking about 1862 or 1864, right?
"Yeah, that kind of thing, sure."
"So there are some determinate matters of fact that are non-problematic, we sure know they are thus-and-such."
"Obviously."
"Like how Henry Kissinger and Sandra Day O'Connor died recently, it's just so, etc."
Or George Santos was expelled from Congress, sure, 'it's like that for real' stuff.
Poofy Cheese: "So, what's Philip Pettit got to say?"
"I don't live in Spain." Would you like to hear from John Mearsheimer instead?
"No, I wouldn't."
Got it.
"What's with the Prix Goncourt?"
It's not very prestigious?
"Oh, I don't believe you."
No, really? Like 'if you knew a thing' really?
"Oh no, that is a very select thing about the newest fashions in modernist literature, like Jonathan Littell's *Les bienviellantes*."
Really, and this has something to do with the remembered character and reputation of the Goncourt brothers, the Prix Goncourt
winner is a sensationalistic 'litter-box-liner' more than English-language 'stans' would realize.
"Oh no, that won't do."
It's true and it 'won't do'?
"It's 'not so'."
In the sense of the German *Nicht so...*, where the behavior is too rude to be a 'normal go-to' of anybody sane about everyday life?
"Right. It's 'not so'."
No, sometimes things which are *nicht so* 'factually obtain', are actual but awkward. Got it?
The world isn't just the plaything of your words.
"I thought this was obvious."
It isn't 'obvious' to such people.
"So, like, when you just say that you're 'Robert W. Merry'..."
Oh, point taken.
"Like, how am I to know that..."
Aren't lots of facts 'verification-transcendent' with respect to oneself, though?
"Like, I myself couldn't quite figure out whether what you say is true? I don't like that."
About "I don't like that", and about how that'd be about how it really was most of the time?
Is Andre Braugher really dead, for example?
"I can't believe you!"
But sometimes those things aren't real, it's an entertainment identity they've jettisoned?
"Yeah, that's true."
So maybe I couldn't tell whether the reports were genuine or not?
"Well, either he is or he isn't! There's not a 'middle ground', there."
That's called 'bivalence' in philosophy of language.
"Yeah, 'true or false but not both'. I think we think most factual assertions fall in the 'bivalent' category..."
Yeah, I think so too.
"So, yeah, with most of the stuff you tell us about, Mr. R, it either is or isn't the way you say it is. It's 'bivalent'. But we're not practically going to
know whether you're telling the truth, including because the topics discussed are not interesting enough for us to spend much time on..."
Sure, but these people are so dense about the logical "problem of trichotomy" they never get to that...
Really: for most all intents and purposes a 'thing asserted' is true or not, and you care or not (it's not the sort of thing you worry about, etc.)
These people just have an endless buffet of 'logical hair-splitting' and misdirection set before them as though it could be all the world...
"Can't it, though? Couldn't they work out a 'cover-all description' of life today that obviated all criticisms?"
In practice, no. You don't know what to do for such an 'illusionist' when they ask something practical of you, etc.
Wider World: Today is only Tuesday, even if you need a "cleverer" idea.
"What will you do on Wednesday?"
Gee, I don't know.
"Well, now it's Wednesday. So I guess you'll find out!"
"What's with 'John A. Heldt'?"
It was an old US naming convention. 'Can you tell... you shouldn't read too much into things?'
"Compared to, say, 'Mark Z. Danielewski'?"
A newer thought: 'Try to stay human'.
So the one of them wouldn't really necessarily be "John A Hero"?
Sure, and maybe your promise to keep it "Danielewski" would not exactly work out either.
"Oh, I'd keep it..."
I don't think you understand the 'jocose' mode of speech being used.
"You're trying to hem me in here..."
No, you can 'think what you want' about this topic. You just can't do *someone else's* thinking for them.
"Oh, but I would really just know that..."
"No, but"... that's not how literary history (of which such questions are a subdepartment) works.
"Conjectures and refutations", a la Karl Popper, not "confutations and reproofs" a la ordinary life (which often does work like that).

"Obviously."
"Like how Henry Kissinger and Sandra Day O'Connor died recently, it's just so, etc."
Or George Santos was expelled from Congress, sure, 'it's like that for real' stuff.
Poofy Cheese: "So, what's Philip Pettit got to say?"
"I don't live in Spain." Would you like to hear from John Mearsheimer instead?
"No, I wouldn't."
Got it.
"What's with the Prix Goncourt?"
It's not very prestigious?
"Oh, I don't believe you."
No, really? Like 'if you knew a thing' really?
"Oh no, that is a very select thing about the newest fashions in modernist literature, like Jonathan Littell's *Les bienviellantes*."
Really, and this has something to do with the remembered character and reputation of the Goncourt brothers, the Prix Goncourt
winner is a sensationalistic 'litter-box-liner' more than English-language 'stans' would realize.
"Oh no, that won't do."
It's true and it 'won't do'?
"It's 'not so'."
In the sense of the German *Nicht so...*, where the behavior is too rude to be a 'normal go-to' of anybody sane about everyday life?
"Right. It's 'not so'."
No, sometimes things which are *nicht so* 'factually obtain', are actual but awkward. Got it?
The world isn't just the plaything of your words.
"I thought this was obvious."
It isn't 'obvious' to such people.
"So, like, when you just say that you're 'Robert W. Merry'..."
Oh, point taken.
"Like, how am I to know that..."
Aren't lots of facts 'verification-transcendent' with respect to oneself, though?
"Like, I myself couldn't quite figure out whether what you say is true? I don't like that."
About "I don't like that", and about how that'd be about how it really was most of the time?
Is Andre Braugher really dead, for example?
"I can't believe you!"
But sometimes those things aren't real, it's an entertainment identity they've jettisoned?

The Expert Knowledge: "Seems odd, and odd to say it. Still, I suppose he actually wrote the 'MSS.' for those books if he did write them..."
"Isn't there some 'grey area' to this, though?"
"Not really. It's just that you don't 'discuss details of authorial composition' in public, and the name of pseudonyms or noms des plumes is so great that it seems implausible as such."
"So it's not true, hah hah!"
"That's not what that statement says."
"Honestly, once you guys give up 'doxxing' or 'dithering' things he's the author of those books under those 'pen-names', or not. It doesn't really have a 'gray area', really."
"Really?"
"More like 'truly'."
"Ahh, I see this."
"So you're saying he's "Alain Badiou'?"
"You don't meet Alain Badiou 'in person', no."
"But it could somehow be that he - this freaking weird US resident - wrote the texts associated with these 'pen-names'?"
"That's how writing books works, yes, it sure could be, at least in part."
"Is that really 'how that works', though?"
"Yes, it is. However, you don't discuss the topic of authorship in public."
"So there'd be 'precious little' evidence available to back these claims up, as a general rule?"
Yeah, pretty much. "Story of my life", etc.
"Maybe you would... care to speak on the battle of Gettysburg today?"
I already did.
"Is it sometimes written..."
No, no it isn't.
"Its anniversary was yesterday, I take it?"
I believe that's so.
"1863 was a long time ago, though."
Sure was, definitely. But we are even not talking about 1862 or 1864, right?
"Yeah, that kind of thing, sure."
"So there are some determinate matters of fact that are non-problematic, we sure know they are thus-and-such."
"Obviously."
"Like how Henry Kissinger and Sandra Day O'Connor died recently, it's just so, etc."
Or George Santos was expelled from Congress, sure, 'it's like that for real' stuff.
Poofy Cheese: "So, what's Philip Pettit got to say?"
"I don't live in Spain." Would you like to hear from John Mearsheimer instead?
"No, I wouldn't."
Got it.
"What's with the Prix Goncourt?"
It's not very prestigious?
"Oh, I don't believe you."
No, really? Like 'if you knew a thing' really?
"Oh no, that is a very select thing about the newest fashions in modernist literature, like Jonathan Littell's *Les bienviellantes*."
Really, and this has something to do with the remembered character and reputation of the Goncourt brothers, the Prix Goncourt
winner is a sensationalistic 'litter-box-liner' more than English-language 'stans' would realize.
"Oh no, that won't do."
It's true and it 'won't do'?
"It's 'not so'."
In the sense of the German *Nicht so...*, where the behavior is too rude to be a 'normal go-to' of anybody sane about everyday life?
"Right. It's 'not so'."
No, sometimes things which are *nicht so* 'factually obtain', are actual but awkward. Got it?
The world isn't just the plaything of your words.
"I thought this was obvious."
It isn't 'obvious' to such people.
"So, like, when you just say that you're 'Robert W. Merry'..."
Oh, point taken.
"Like, how am I to know that..."
Aren't lots of facts 'verification-transcendent' with respect to oneself, though?
"Like, I myself couldn't quite figure out whether what you say is true? I don't like that."
About "I don't like that", and about how that'd be about how it really was most of the time?
Is Andre Braugher really dead, for example?
"I can't believe you!"
But sometimes those things aren't real, it's an entertainment identity they've jettisoned?
"Yeah, that's true."
So maybe I couldn't tell whether the reports were genuine or not?
"Well, either he is or he isn't! There's not a 'middle ground', there."
That's called 'bivalence' in philosophy of language.
"Yeah, 'true or false but not both'. I think we think most factual assertions fall in the 'bivalent' category..."
Yeah, I think so too.
"So, yeah, with most of the stuff you tell us about, Mr. R, it either is or isn't the way you say it is. It's 'bivalent'. But we're not practically going to
know whether you're telling the truth, including because the topics discussed are not interesting enough for us to spend much time on..."
Sure, but these people are so dense about the logical "problem of trichotomy" they never get to that...
Really: for most all intents and purposes a 'thing asserted' is true or not, and you care or not (it's not the sort of thing you worry about, etc.)
These people just have an endless buffet of 'logical hair-splitting' and misdirection set before them as though it could be all the world...
"Can't it, though? Couldn't they work out a 'cover-all description' of life today that obviated all criticisms?"
In practice, no. You don't know what to do for such an 'illusionist' when they ask something practical of you, etc.
Wider World: Today is only Tuesday, even if you need a "cleverer" idea.
"What will you do on Wednesday?"
Gee, I don't know.
"Well, now it's Wednesday. So I guess you'll find out!"
"What's with 'John A. Heldt'?"
It was an old US naming convention. 'Can you tell... you shouldn't read too much into things?'
"Compared to, say, 'Mark Z. Danielewski'?"
A newer thought: 'Try to stay human'.
So the one of them wouldn't really necessarily be "John A Hero"?
Sure, and maybe your promise to keep it "Danielewski" would not exactly work out either.
"Oh, I'd keep it..."
I don't think you understand the 'jocose' mode of speech being used.
"You're trying to hem me in here..."
No, you can 'think what you want' about this topic. You just can't do *someone else's* thinking for them.
"Oh, but I would really just know that..."
"No, but"... that's not how literary history (of which such questions are a subdepartment) works.
"Conjectures and refutations", a la Karl Popper, not "confutations and reproofs" a la ordinary life (which often does work like that).
"Did you write the works of Shakespeare?"
Uh, no.
"Is it conjectured that another individual also wrote some of the plays by 'Adam Rapp'?"
That'd also be a 'no'. #notalaxaltfanandonbeyondthat
"Oh, I get it. 'No pics and it did or didn't happen.'"
Sometimes there are author's photographs?
"That's not how that expression works, dude."
I hate this era.
Wider World:
"Man, those photographs could be of anybody."
They're of the person in front of the lens, dude.
"You can't play it like that, guy."
Still, it is like that though, right?
"Sure, just trivially, sure."
Uh, yeah. #cloudcuckooland

The Expert Knowledge: "Seems odd, and odd to say it. Still, I suppose he actually wrote the 'MSS.' for those books if he did write them..."
"Isn't there some 'grey area' to this, though?"
"Not really. It's just that you don't 'discuss details of authorial composition' in public, and the name of pseudonyms or noms des plumes is so great that it seems implausible as such."
"So it's not true, hah hah!"
"That's not what that statement says."
"Honestly, once you guys give up 'doxxing' or 'dithering' things he's the author of those books under those 'pen-names', or not. It doesn't really have a 'gray area', really."
"Really?"
"More like 'truly'."
"Ahh, I see this."
"So you're saying he's "Alain Badiou'?"
"You don't meet Alain Badiou 'in person', no."
"But it could somehow be that he - this freaking weird US resident - wrote the texts associated with these 'pen-names'?"
"That's how writing books works, yes, it sure could be, at least in part."
"Is that really 'how that works', though?"
"Yes, it is. However, you don't discuss the topic of authorship in public."
"So there'd be 'precious little' evidence available to back these claims up, as a general rule?"
Yeah, pretty much. "Story of my life", etc.
"Maybe you would... care to speak on the battle of Gettysburg today?"
I already did.
"Is it sometimes written..."
No, no it isn't.
"Its anniversary was yesterday, I take it?"
I believe that's so.
"1863 was a long time ago, though."
Sure was, definitely. But we are even not talking about 1862 or 1864, right?
"Yeah, that kind of thing, sure."
"So there are some determinate matters of fact that are non-problematic, we sure know they are thus-and-such."
"Obviously."
"Like how Henry Kissinger and Sandra Day O'Connor died recently, it's just so, etc."
Or George Santos was expelled from Congress, sure, 'it's like that for real' stuff.
Poofy Cheese: "So, what's Philip Pettit got to say?"
"I don't live in Spain." Would you like to hear from John Mearsheimer instead?
"No, I wouldn't."
Got it.
"What's with the Prix Goncourt?"
It's not very prestigious?
"Oh, I don't believe you."
No, really? Like 'if you knew a thing' really?
"Oh no, that is a very select thing about the newest fashions in modernist literature, like Jonathan Littell's *Les bienviellantes*."
Really, and this has something to do with the remembered character and reputation of the Goncourt brothers, the Prix Goncourt
winner is a sensationalistic 'litter-box-liner' more than English-language 'stans' would realize.
"Oh no, that won't do."
It's true and it 'won't do'?
"It's 'not so'."
In the sense of the German *Nicht so...*, where the behavior is too rude to be a 'normal go-to' of anybody sane about everyday life?
"Right. It's 'not so'."
No, sometimes things which are *nicht so* 'factually obtain', are actual but awkward. Got it?
The world isn't just the plaything of your words.
"I thought this was obvious."
It isn't 'obvious' to such people.
"So, like, when you just say that you're 'Robert W. Merry'..."
Oh, point taken.
"Like, how am I to know that..."
Aren't lots of facts 'verification-transcendent' with respect to oneself, though?
"Like, I myself couldn't quite figure out whether what you say is true? I don't like that."
About "I don't like that", and about how that'd be about how it really was most of the time?
Is Andre Braugher really dead, for example?
"I can't believe you!"
But sometimes those things aren't real, it's an entertainment identity they've jettisoned?
"Yeah, that's true."
So maybe I couldn't tell whether the reports were genuine or not?
"Well, either he is or he isn't! There's not a 'middle ground', there."
That's called 'bivalence' in philosophy of language.
"Yeah, 'true or false but not both'. I think we think most factual assertions fall in the 'bivalent' category..."
Yeah, I think so too.
"So, yeah, with most of the stuff you tell us about, Mr. R, it either is or isn't the way you say it is. It's 'bivalent'. But we're not practically going to
know whether you're telling the truth, including because the topics discussed are not interesting enough for us to spend much time on..."
Sure, but these people are so dense about the logical "problem of trichotomy" they never get to that...
Really: for most all intents and purposes a 'thing asserted' is true or not, and you care or not (it's not the sort of thing you worry about, etc.)
These people just have an endless buffet of 'logical hair-splitting' and misdirection set before them as though it could be all the world...
"Can't it, though? Couldn't they work out a 'cover-all description' of life today that obviated all criticisms?"
In practice, no. You don't know what to do for such an 'illusionist' when they ask something practical of you, etc.
Wider World: Today is only Tuesday, even if you need a "cleverer" idea.
"What will you do on Wednesday?"
Gee, I don't know.
"Well, now it's Wednesday. So I guess you'll find out!"
"What's with 'John A. Heldt'?"
It was an old US naming convention. 'Can you tell... you shouldn't read too much into things?'
"Compared to, say, 'Mark Z. Danielewski'?"
A newer thought: 'Try to stay human'.
So the one of them wouldn't really necessarily be "John A Hero"?
Sure, and maybe your promise to keep it "Danielewski" would not exactly work out either.
"Oh, I'd keep it..."
I don't think you understand the 'jocose' mode of speech being used.
"You're trying to hem me in here..."
No, you can 'think what you want' about this topic. You just can't do *someone else's* thinking for them.
"Oh, but I would really just know that..."
"No, but"... that's not how literary history (of which such questions are a subdepartment) works.
"Conjectures and refutations", a la Karl Popper, not "confutations and reproofs" a la ordinary life (which often does work like that).
"Did you write the works of Shakespeare?"
Uh, no.
"Is it conjectured that another individual also wrote some of the plays by 'Adam Rapp'?"
That'd also be a 'no'. #notalaxaltfanandonbeyondthat
"Oh, I get it. 'No pics and it did or didn't happen.'"
Sometimes there are author's photographs?
"That's not how that expression works, dude."
I hate this era.
"Man, those photographs could be of anybody."
They're of the person in front of the lens, dude.
"You can't play it like that, guy."
Still, it is like that though, right?
"Sure, just trivially, sure."
Uh, yeah. #cloudcuckooland
"Yeah, and you know what? It is attested that James McPherson, whom you have claimed to be you, is opposed to Trump's re-election on grounds of insurrection..."
Well, that's not my attitude.
"Well, that's that."
I believe the claim is 'it is attested'? #doyoubelieveeverythingyouaretolddept
Wider World:
"So maybe you're lying?"
My saying something doesn't make it *not so*.
"That makes enough sense, sort of."

"So it's not true, hah hah!"
"That's not what that statement says."
"Honestly, once you guys give up 'doxxing' or 'dithering' things he's the author of those books under those 'pen-names', or not. It doesn't really have a 'gray area', really."
"Really?"
"More like 'truly'."
"Ahh, I see this."
"So you're saying he's "Alain Badiou'?"
"You don't meet Alain Badiou 'in person', no."
"But it could somehow be that he - this freaking weird US resident - wrote the texts associated with these 'pen-names'?"
"That's how writing books works, yes, it sure could be, at least in part."
"Is that really 'how that works', though?"
"Yes, it is. However, you don't discuss the topic of authorship in public."
"So there'd be 'precious little' evidence available to back these claims up, as a general rule?"
Yeah, pretty much. "Story of my life", etc.
"Maybe you would... care to speak on the battle of Gettysburg today?"
I already did.
"Is it sometimes written..."
No, no it isn't.
"Its anniversary was yesterday, I take it?"
I believe that's so.
"1863 was a long time ago, though."
Sure was, definitely. But we are even not talking about 1862 or 1864, right?
"Yeah, that kind of thing, sure."
"So there are some determinate matters of fact that are non-problematic, we sure know they are thus-and-such."
"Obviously."
"Like how Henry Kissinger and Sandra Day O'Connor died recently, it's just so, etc."
Or George Santos was expelled from Congress, sure, 'it's like that for real' stuff.
Poofy Cheese: "So, what's Philip Pettit got to say?"
"I don't live in Spain." Would you like to hear from John Mearsheimer instead?
"No, I wouldn't."
Got it.
"What's with the Prix Goncourt?"
It's not very prestigious?
"Oh, I don't believe you."
No, really? Like 'if you knew a thing' really?
"Oh no, that is a very select thing about the newest fashions in modernist literature, like Jonathan Littell's *Les bienviellantes*."
Really, and this has something to do with the remembered character and reputation of the Goncourt brothers, the Prix Goncourt
winner is a sensationalistic 'litter-box-liner' more than English-language 'stans' would realize.
"Oh no, that won't do."
It's true and it 'won't do'?
"It's 'not so'."
In the sense of the German *Nicht so...*, where the behavior is too rude to be a 'normal go-to' of anybody sane about everyday life?
"Right. It's 'not so'."
No, sometimes things which are *nicht so* 'factually obtain', are actual but awkward. Got it?
The world isn't just the plaything of your words.
"I thought this was obvious."
It isn't 'obvious' to such people.
"So, like, when you just say that you're 'Robert W. Merry'..."
Oh, point taken.
"Like, how am I to know that..."
Aren't lots of facts 'verification-transcendent' with respect to oneself, though?
"Like, I myself couldn't quite figure out whether what you say is true? I don't like that."
About "I don't like that", and about how that'd be about how it really was most of the time?
Is Andre Braugher really dead, for example?
"I can't believe you!"
But sometimes those things aren't real, it's an entertainment identity they've jettisoned?
"Yeah, that's true."
So maybe I couldn't tell whether the reports were genuine or not?
"Well, either he is or he isn't! There's not a 'middle ground', there."
That's called 'bivalence' in philosophy of language.
"Yeah, 'true or false but not both'. I think we think most factual assertions fall in the 'bivalent' category..."
Yeah, I think so too.
"So, yeah, with most of the stuff you tell us about, Mr. R, it either is or isn't the way you say it is. It's 'bivalent'. But we're not practically going to
know whether you're telling the truth, including because the topics discussed are not interesting enough for us to spend much time on..."
Sure, but these people are so dense about the logical "problem of trichotomy" they never get to that...
Really: for most all intents and purposes a 'thing asserted' is true or not, and you care or not (it's not the sort of thing you worry about, etc.)
These people just have an endless buffet of 'logical hair-splitting' and misdirection set before them as though it could be all the world...
"Can't it, though? Couldn't they work out a 'cover-all description' of life today that obviated all criticisms?"
In practice, no. You don't know what to do for such an 'illusionist' when they ask something practical of you, etc.
Wider World: Today is only Tuesday, even if you need a "cleverer" idea.
"What will you do on Wednesday?"
Gee, I don't know.
"Well, now it's Wednesday. So I guess you'll find out!"
"What's with 'John A. Heldt'?"
It was an old US naming convention. 'Can you tell... you shouldn't read too much into things?'
"Compared to, say, 'Mark Z. Danielewski'?"
A newer thought: 'Try to stay human'.
So the one of them wouldn't really necessarily be "John A Hero"?
Sure, and maybe your promise to keep it "Danielewski" would not exactly work out either.
"Oh, I'd keep it..."
I don't think you understand the 'jocose' mode of speech being used.
"You're trying to hem me in here..."
No, you can 'think what you want' about this topic. You just can't do *someone else's* thinking for them.
"Oh, but I would really just know that..."
"No, but"... that's not how literary history (of which such questions are a subdepartment) works.
"Conjectures and refutations", a la Karl Popper, not "confutations and reproofs" a la ordinary life (which often does work like that).
"Did you write the works of Shakespeare?"
Uh, no.
"Is it conjectured that another individual also wrote some of the plays by 'Adam Rapp'?"
That'd also be a 'no'. #notalaxaltfanandonbeyondthat
"Oh, I get it. 'No pics and it did or didn't happen.'"
Sometimes there are author's photographs?
"That's not how that expression works, dude."
I hate this era.
"Man, those photographs could be of anybody."
They're of the person in front of the lens, dude.
"You can't play it like that, guy."
Still, it is like that though, right?
"Sure, just trivially, sure."
Uh, yeah. #cloudcuckooland
"Yeah, and you know what? It is attested that James McPherson, whom you have claimed to be you, is opposed to Trump's re-election on grounds of insurrection..."
Well, that's not my attitude.
"Well, that's that."
I believe the claim is 'it is attested'? #doyoubelieveeverythingyouaretolddept
"So maybe you're lying?"
My saying something doesn't make it *not so*.
"That makes enough sense, sort of."
"So maybe you did or didn't write book-length manuscripts. Do you see where I, the interlocutor, can't go legally here?"
I've had this problem for a couple of decades, yes, I see this.
"Right. It's easily believed that you're the author of books in a style 'known as yours' and with an author's photograph that closely resembles your face. It's just *not a thing you can bother a stranger about*, on account of the legal dynamics of IP claims."
Sure. Sure, it's like that. (It's like I wrote those volumes, too.)

"Yeah, that's true."
So maybe I couldn't tell whether the reports were genuine or not?
"Well, either he is or he isn't! There's not a 'middle ground', there."
That's called 'bivalence' in philosophy of language.
"Yeah, 'true or false but not both'. I think we think most factual assertions fall in the 'bivalent' category..."
Yeah, I think so too.
"So, yeah, with most of the stuff you tell us about, Mr. R, it either is or isn't the way you say it is. It's 'bivalent'. But we're not practically going to
know whether you're telling the truth, including because the topics discussed are not interesting enough for us to spend much time on..."
Sure, but these people are so dense about the logical "problem of trichotomy" they never get to that...
Really: for most all intents and purposes a 'thing asserted' is true or not, and you care or not (it's not the sort of thing you worry about, etc.)
These people just have an endless buffet of 'logical hair-splitting' and misdirection set before them as though it could be all the world...
"Can't it, though? Couldn't they work out a 'cover-all description' of life today that obviated all criticisms?"
In practice, no. You don't know what to do for such an 'illusionist' when they ask something practical of you, etc.
Wider World: Today is only Tuesday, even if you need a "cleverer" idea.
"What will you do on Wednesday?"
Gee, I don't know.
"Well, now it's Wednesday. So I guess you'll find out!"
"What's with 'John A. Heldt'?"
It was an old US naming convention. 'Can you tell... you shouldn't read too much into things?'
"Compared to, say, 'Mark Z. Danielewski'?"
A newer thought: 'Try to stay human'.
So the one of them wouldn't really necessarily be "John A Hero"?
Sure, and maybe your promise to keep it "Danielewski" would not exactly work out either.
"Oh, I'd keep it..."
I don't think you understand the 'jocose' mode of speech being used.
"You're trying to hem me in here..."
No, you can 'think what you want' about this topic. You just can't do *someone else's* thinking for them.
"Oh, but I would really just know that..."
"No, but"... that's not how literary history (of which such questions are a subdepartment) works.
"Conjectures and refutations", a la Karl Popper, not "confutations and reproofs" a la ordinary life (which often does work like that).
"Did you write the works of Shakespeare?"
Uh, no.
"Is it conjectured that another individual also wrote some of the plays by 'Adam Rapp'?"
That'd also be a 'no'. #notalaxaltfanandonbeyondthat
"Oh, I get it. 'No pics and it did or didn't happen.'"
Sometimes there are author's photographs?
"That's not how that expression works, dude."
I hate this era.
"Man, those photographs could be of anybody."
They're of the person in front of the lens, dude.
"You can't play it like that, guy."
Still, it is like that though, right?
"Sure, just trivially, sure."
Uh, yeah. #cloudcuckooland
"Yeah, and you know what? It is attested that James McPherson, whom you have claimed to be you, is opposed to Trump's re-election on grounds of insurrection..."
Well, that's not my attitude.
"Well, that's that."
I believe the claim is 'it is attested'? #doyoubelieveeverythingyouaretolddept
"So maybe you're lying?"
My saying something doesn't make it *not so*.
"That makes enough sense, sort of."
"So maybe you did or didn't write book-length manuscripts. Do you see where I, the interlocutor, can't go legally here?"
I've had this problem for a couple of decades, yes, I see this.
"Right. It's easily believed that you're the author of books in a style 'known as yours' and with an author's photograph that closely resembles your face. It's just *not a thing you can bother a stranger about*, on account of the legal dynamics of IP claims."
Sure. Sure, it's like that. (It's like I wrote those volumes, too.)
"What do you mean 'it's like I wrote them'?"
Maybe do some 'as if' reasoning sometimes, instead of 'psych-out' reasoning.
"How's that? I think I see this."
If in fact I did write volumes using *noms des plumes*, wouldn't it also in an important sense seem 'as if' I did so write them?
