Man, that's one long talk!
Question: In the "retraction problem," I get a hunch that the following might better represent a contextual exchange (roles of you and me reversed):
You: ...So, you see, I'm not *sure* that my car is in the driveway.
Me: But a few hours ago you said you knew it was there.
You: I *might have been wrong*. I didn't know *for sure*.
In this revised example, you don't mean different things by know (according to contextualism) but you tack on a quantity of "sureness."
Or does this revision only highlight the involvement of a "judge parameter"?
Aidan: Yeah, I was considering giving people a 5-min break after the first two days but decided against it.
Jared: yes, your example fits the contextualist's purposes better. But the problem is that they cannot (easily) account for the felicity of the other example.
