51. What sort of proposition is: “What
could a mistake here be like!”? It would have to be a logical proposition. But
is it a logic that is not used, because what it tells us is not taught by means
of propositions. – It is a logical proposition; for it does describe the
conceptual (linguistic) situation.
‘what could a mistake here be like!’
this is not a logical proposition –
it is a rhetorical exclamation
it assumes that the concept of the mistake
–
is valid –
when the concept has not been established
and on the basis of this –
propositional sleight of hand –
tries to get you to describe it –
it’s a con job
if you hold with certainty –
there can be no mistakes
and in an uncertain reality –
again – no mistakes –
what you have is –
uncertainties
this concept of the ‘mistake’ –
is a fraud
