I myself wrote in my book that children learn to understand a word in
such and such a way. Do I know that, or do I believe it? Why in such a case do
I write not “I believe etc.” but simply the indicative sentence?
yes –
just the indicative sentence is all that is
required
prefacing any proposition with ‘I know’ or
‘I believe’ –
adds nothing to the proposition –
but unnecessary and irrelevant baggage –
which if it is not identified for what it
is-
will corrupt the proposition –
and its bearer
