It is not evidence that the speaker is happy but a claim that he is. Speaking of the same occasion by the same speaker, one of these could be true and the other false -- the klaming took place but the speaker was not really happy makes the first true and the second false. The first is also misleading, since it gave some evidence that the speaker was happy, but the evidence was just misleading, it turns out. |
