| Description | The present paper is a reaction to David Miller's and Milos Taliga's criticism of my recent paper "Conceptual Dependence of Verisimilitude". I show that their rebuttals of my approach are quite misguided. Then I reject their strange construal of translation between languages. The key part of the paper discloses in the most direct way a fallacious confusion behind Miller's argument which was directed against Tichý's approach to verisimilitude counting. On none of its reading Miller's argument is capable to support Miller's rejection of Tichý's approach. |
