570. “I know this is my name; among us any
grown-up knows what his name is.”
this is pure rhetoric –
the attempt to persuade –
using the idea of the ‘authority’ of
knowledge –
and the ‘authority’ of being a grown up –
to do so
the only authority is authorship –
claiming authorship of your assertions –
is irrelevant and unnecessary
claiming an authority beyond authorship –
is false and deceptive
