523. And indeed no one misses doubt here;
no one is surprised that we do not merely surmise the meaning of our words.
whether anyone misses doubt here or not –
is not the issue
‘knowing the meaning of a word’ – is always
a question of use
there may be convention here – but there is
no certainty
and therefore any ‘knowledge’ here – is
surmise
