Being incorrect is OK; By raising your points and making your
hypotheses here, you make it possible for many besides yourself to
learn about them.
In that light, I was wondering: when you have time (ie, when the real
discussion is over), would you mind explaining to a simple lay person
why the Geach-Kaplan sentence cannot be 'firstorderized' as:
ExEyAz((Cx & Cy) & (Axy & Ayx) & (Axz -> z=y) & (Ayz -> z=x))
(Ca =df. a is a critic; Aab =df. a admires b)?
Or refer me to a weblink, if that's easier.
