- Uh, Doug. I don't agree with Keegan here, HOWEVER....
-
- I believe you are misreading him:
- You are reading him as saying
-
- (I believe(Doug is Intimidated by Ms. Garvin))->(I believe(Doug's statement
- is unsupported)
-
- (I believe(Doug's statement is unsupported))->(I believe(Doug's statement
- is untrue)
-
- This, if true, would be highly foolish.
-
-
- However, I believe Keegan MEANS:
- (I believe(Doug's statement is unsupported))
- (I believe(Doug's statement is untrue.))
- (I believe(The reason Doug did not support his statement is BECAUSE
- it is untrue.))
-
- This, while questionable:
- Is Doug's statement unsupported?
- Is Doug's statement untrue?
- Are these related?
-
- Is not foolish in the way that your version is.
