Mistake 1: Conception must be one word. Correction: “Zayd’s servant” is a multiword conception.
Mistake 2: Any long sentence is judgment. Correction: judgment concerns assent to a proposition, not word count.
Mistake 3: Making an assertion proves knowledge. Correction: propositions may be false; knowledge requires truth.
Mistake 4: Questions and assertions do the same work. Correction: a question seeks information, whereas an assertion states a claim.
