In article <1992Nov18.164042.2001@athena.cs.uga.edu>, Michael Covington (mc) writes: mc> Of course it's contingent and is arrived at BY LOGICAL REASONING mc> FROM PREMISES. I never said it was analytic. This can be said of anything for a weird enough logic, so the assertion is a little trivial. The problem is always to come up with a logic that will get you from some reasonable premises to `if I walk in front of a bus I get very thin' without ludicrous side effects, infinite numbers of frame axioms, logical omniscience and all those other fun, fun, fun things which give people headaches. I ain't seen one advertised yet. -- rjc@cogsci.ed.ac.uk _O_ |<
