Heh. If it can't be translated to another language and remain a paradox, it's not really a paradox.
ReplyDeleteAh, the lovely "four term" fallacy. I remember my old professor, Dr. Perry, using it this way (or thereabouts):
ReplyDeleteSome babies are geniuses.
That is SOME baby!
Therefore, that baby is a genius.
In the absence paradox, we are using the term "somewhere else" in two different ways, giving us the additional (fourth) term.
Lovely!
