60. It is wrong to say that the
‘hypothesis’ that this is a bit of
paper would be confirmed or disconfirmed by later experience, and that, in “I
know that this is a bit of paper,” the “I know” either relates to such an
hypothesis or to a logical determination.
this ‘hypothesis’ – will not be confirmed
or disconfirmed –
it will be used or it won’t be used –
correct – the ‘I know’ – does not relate to
the hypothesis –
and it is logically irrelevant to it
it’s only possible value is rhetorical
