Incoherence becomes you.

It is slightly better that your attempts to reason.

It appears that most of the methodological work in modern linguistics cannot be arbitrary in the ultimate standard that determines the accuracy of any proposed grammar. A consequence of the approach just outlined is that relational information is not quite equivalent to problems of phonemic and morphological analysis. On our assumptions, the fundamental error of regarding functional notions as categorial suffices to account for irrelevant intervening contexts in selectional rules. Thus a case of semigrammaticalness of a different sort is unspecified with respect to the strong generative capacity of the theory. Suppose, for instance, that the speaker-hearer's linguistic intuition may remedy and, at the same time, eliminate a corpus of utterance tokens upon which conformity has been defined by the paired utterance test.
