101. Such a proposition might be e.g. “My
body has never disappeared and reappeared again after an interval”
yes – you can make this assertion –
‘my body has never disappeared and reappeared
again after an interval’ –
and as with any assertion –
it’s open to question – open to doubt –
uncertain
if you claim to know this proposition –
in the way that Moore claims to
know –
you claim an authority for it –
the only authority – is authorship
authorship does not guarantee the
proposition –
it’s irrelevant to the logical status of
the proposition
and any claim of authority –
other than authorship –
is logically baseless
