“But then B didn't really
recognize the
material as the right one”. ‒ ‒
You nee
dn't reckon 14c) among the cases of
recognizing, but if you have become aware of the fact that the
processes which we call processes of recognition form a vast
family with overlapping similarities, you will probably feel not
disinclined to include 14c) in this family, too. ‒ ‒
“But doesn't B in this case lack the criterion
by which he can recognize the material?
In 14a), e.g., he had the memory image and
he recognized the material he looked for by its agreement with the
image”. ‒ ‒
But had he also a picture of this agreement before him, a picture with
which he could compare the agreement between the pattern and the bolt to
see whether it was the right one?
And, on the other hand, couldn't he have been given such a
picture?
Suppose, e.g., that A wished B to
remember that what was wanted was a bolt exactly like the sample, not, as
perhaps in other cases, a material slightly darker than the
pattern.
Couldn't A in this case have given to B an
example of the agreement required by giving him two pieces of the same
colour (e.g.,
19.
as a kind of
reminder)?
Is any such link between the order & its execution necessarily
the last one? ‒ ‒
And if you say that in 14b) at least he had the relaxing of
the tension by which to recognize the right material, had he to have an
image of this relaxation about him to recognize it as that by which
the right material was to be recognized? ‒ ‒
