Full Idea
My present suggestion is that it is nonsense, and the root of much nonsense, to speak of a linguistic component and a factual component in the truth of any individual statement.
Gist of Idea
It is troublesome nonsense to split statements into a linguistic and a factual component

A Reaction
I take the language and its subject matter to be obviously separate, but it is right that we can't separate these two components within a sample of language.
