Suppose a lojbanic child has found in a theme park a ride which looks
like an airplane but which doesn't really fly. He wants to ride it.
Now how should he call this object: {le vinji} as a truthful lojbanist
who distinguishes things that are mental from things that are actual,
or {lo vinji} as a child who often spends his time in a world of
fantasy and is likely to be ignorant of such lies supplied by adults?
In other words, will lojbanic children, if any, have to be trained in
telling {le} from {lo}? Will the plate next to that toy ride, written
for children, in a lojbanistan, have to be saying {le vinji} or {lo
vinji}?
