Attitudinals DO NOT ASSERT anything, so cannot be true or false.  This "rule"
does not make sense.  

<F. An attitudinal attached to the selbri implies that the bridi is true but

Since attitudinals don't assert anyhting, they don't strictly imply anything
either (maybe only a terminological problem?)

And so on.  This seem essentially to do away with attitudinals as such and
replace them with only assertions about my mental states.
