I got that wrong. What I should have said is: I don't see any reason to interpret values in the domain of discourse as anything other than themselves.

This includes any language symbols in the domain of discourse, if any - which may arise when logic statements are expressed over a domain concerned with languages. I reject any notion of implicit "nested" interpretations. Received on Tue May 11 2010 - 04:04:43 CEST
