40. Upon “I know that here is my hand”
there may follow the question “How do you know?” and the answer to that
presupposes that this can be known in that way. So, instead of “I
know that here is my hand”, one might say “Here is my hand”, and then add how
one knows.
dropping ‘I know’ is a good start –
the assertion is all that is required
adding how one knows –
is rhetoric
