You once wrote a letter to a close friend. On its way, the post office lost your letter, and it remained lost?
for 2000 years. One day it was discovered and reclaimed. Three poets from Moronian culture took on the task of translating your letter, but all three arrived at different meanings. What advice would you give the Moronians to resolve their differences?
a. Is it possible that your letter had more than
one meaning?
YES NO
(If your answer is yes, go to letter b)
(If your answer is no, go to letter c)
b. If your letter can have a variety of meanings,
is there any limit to the number of valid
meanings? If there is a limit to valid meanings,
what criteria would you propose to differentiate between valid and invalid meanings?
c. If there is only one valid meaning of your letter, what criteria would you use to discern when Moron I, II, or III has the best interprentation? If you determine that Moron II has the best interprentation, how would you justify this to Moron I,and III?
The final answer should be in the form of an essay
