Thinking of a new paper ``The Logic Of Politician's Speech'' and/or I was just playing around.
Has anybody out there defended the position that there are three and only three truth-values? (Those values being: false, both true and false, and neither true nor false but in some sense kinda false.)

Yeah I actually think it’s a pretty good theory of Stuff Students Say To Teachers.

Best to split the content of “both true and false” into two messages one true and one false, if you are thinking eg of code words

If the goal is to analyze political speech (esp. Trump), why not analyze a single sentence as engaging in two speech acts? There is the assertion, which is clearly false, and (in Searle’s classification) a commissive/expressive, which is true.

Yes! This is how David Beaver and I analyze things in our forthcoming book The Politics of Language.

Elijah Milgram's Hard Truths is the closest I've seen someone get to this obviously true position.
