20. As if words
didn’t also have functions quite different from the naming of tables, chairs,
etc. Here is the origin of the bad expression: a fact is a complex of objects.

that ‘a fact is a complex of objects’- may well have function in a particular
context
the real point here
is that legislating about what
functions words have or do not
have – is epistemological short-sightedness – at the very least
