But if the ostensive teaching has this effect, ---am I to say that it affects an understanding of the word? Don't you understand the call "Slab!" if you act upon it in such-and-such a way?--- Doubtless the ostensive teaching helped to bring this about; but only together with a particular training. With different training the same ostensive teaching of these words would have effected a quite different understanding.
Do y'all even get why I was peeved by the downvote? I was referencing the very book the commentator was talking about and it was clearly misinterpreted by an ignoramus.
And yes, I've read the FAQ, thank you very much. I earn my karma, I'll spend it how I like!
