304. But nor am I making a mistake about

calculating
–
playing a
game of sign substitution –
is just
that –
playing a
game –
and you
either play the game –
or you
don’t
there is
no question of being mistaken or not
there is
no question of you being right or wrong here –
it’s just
a matter of whether you want to play –
or not –
if you
follow the rules –
you play
the game –
if you
don’t follow the rules –
you don’t
play
