351. Isn’t the question “Have these words a meaning?”
similar to “Is that a tool” asked as one produces, say, a hammer? I say “Yes,
it’s a hammer”. But what if the thing that any of us would take for a hammer
were somewhere else a missile, for example, a conductor’s baton? Now make the
application yourself.
have these words a meaning?
yes – but the matter is uncertain
is that a tool?
yes – but it’s application –
is open to question –
open to doubt
