Please reply to Peter Svenonius, not me!

Yes, I read it in the Linguistics forum, but you know what? I think it's
immoral to reply to P.Sven. It's up to him (or hisself, as my granny says) -
i.e. to P.Sven to see if he (P.Sven) can find the passage. Otherwise, the
student wins. I guess that would be the policy, where H. P. Grice was tutor!
Why presuppose the student is a criminal if clever?
"Immoral" is relevantly slightly exaggerated. A hyperbole, as Grice would
put it! :) (which I'm currently researching into. See Grice, Logic &
Conversation, Studies in the Way of Words, p.34).
