failing to realize that hand just means fingers etc.
Richard, hand only “just means” fingers etc. in a situation where we understand hands very well, and have chosen to think of hands that way. Had we not understand hands as well as we do, we might well conceive of fingers not being parts of hands and so on. I think you are way too quick to conclude that it is “logically impossible to have the fingers and all without a hand.”
