There is a difference between a thing and our concept of that thing, and there is a difference between a concept and the word we use to express it.

That is true. Did you have some other point?

For example, suppose some idiot claims he can think without language. Well, if that is true, he ought to be able to explain to us how he does it, without using language.

Explaining his thought is not the same thing as thinking it.
