Bivalence applies not just to sentences, but that general terms are true or false of each object [Quine]
7. Existence / D. Theories of Reality / 10. Vagueness / d. Vagueness as linguistic
Terms learned by ostension tend to be vague, because that must be quick and unrefined [Quine]

Translation is too flimsy a notion to support theories of cultural incommensurability [Quine]
