And of cases where someone appeals to their inarticulable personal experience for justification, when really it was an articulable hidden assumption they could have found with a little effort.
leaves me wondering if you underestimate how much effort it takes to notice and express how to do things which are usually non-verbal.
I don’t understand. The part you quoted isn’t about expressing how to do non-verbal things; it’s about people who say, “when you get to be my age, you’ll agree, [and no I can’t explain what experiences you have as you approach my age that will cause you to agree because that would require a claim regarding how to interpret the experience which you have a chance of refuting]”
What does that have to do with the effort need to express how to do non-verbal things?
Excuse me—I wasn’t reading carefully enough to notice that you’d shifted from claims that it was too hard to explain non-verbal skills to claims that it was too hard to explain the lessons of experience.
Okay. Well, then, assuming your remark was a reply to a different part of my comment, my answer is that yes, it may be hard, but for most people, I’m not convinced they even tried.
I’m in general agreement, but
