Still, why insist that the *false one* has no referent, rather than just saying that *they* don't? That sounds suspiciously like thinking that the referent of False is the complement of the referent of True, which is, in turn, all that there is -- also (except for the first part) a plausible position (usually, in this one, the referent of True is everything that is face on and the referent of False is everything that is arse-first). |
