I should have mentioned this in the papers blog post this morning, but Matt Weiner has posted his “APA paper”:http://mattweiner.net/blog/archives/000159.html. And Jonathan Sutton, his commentator, has posted the comments – in the comments. (This is so philosophy-blog-geek-cool that I can barely write straight.)

Matt’s defending the “Boo Closure!” response to the preface paradox, though he doesn’t put it that way. Here’s a related challenge for readers. Can you come up with a list of names such that (a) for each person on the list you intuitively do know they will be in Pasadena and (b) you intuitively don’t know that they will all be in Pasadena? I’m tempted to say that the list of people I mentioned on my APA schedule is such a list, but I have to think harder about what my intuitions are to be really sure about that.
