[lojban-beginners] {ce'u}



In Lojban For Beginners Chapter 15: Properties,

mi mansa do leka ce'u pensi: I satisfy you that the property "x1 is intelligent" applies to me.

What does this "applies to me" mean? Does it mean that the { ce'u } here is (somehow) specialized to mean "me"? If so, why? Previously the author says, when explaining { le ka ce'u xlura }, "anyone or anything that has that property can stand in for ce'u". So, theoretically, shouldn't { mi mansa do leka ce'u pensi } also mean something like "I satisfy you so that you can cogitate (something)"?
