Will_Pearson: Is it literally? Are you saying I couldn’t send a message to someone that enabled them to print out a list of the first hundred integers without referencing a human’s cognitive structure.
Yes, that’s what I’m saying. It’s counterintuitive because you so effortlessly refernce others’ cognitive structures. In communicating, you assume a certain amount of common understanding, which allows you to know whehter your message will be understood. In sending such a message, you rely on that information. You would have to think, “will they understand what this sentence means”, “can they read this font”, etc.
Tim_Tyler: The whole idea looks like it needs major surgery to me—at least I can’t see much of interest in it as it stands. Think you can reformulate it so it makes sense? Be my guest.
Certainly. All you have to do is read it so you can tell me what about it doesn’t make sense.
Anyway, such a criticism cuts against the original claim as well—since that contained “know” as well as “don’t know”.
