The Ontological Question

Mark O'Mara: Klein's use of trivial seems to make the ontological question or even the truth value question about whether pencils exist as being the arbiter. So I think we could kind of back up alittle bit more and give a little bit more of a survey. The idea there is that, well, okay, usually we say every frog is green when there are frogs. Usually that's sort of this assumption. It doesn't have to mean something like by frog, I mean a set of attributes that include green. And when I say everyfrog is green, that is trivially true because of what a frog means.
