This demonstrates the complete inability to know when you are licked and the inability to see or admit truth when it is right in front of your face, ie that things really do exist or that a fact is really a fact, without anyones consenses or approval.
No it not an inability to see the point you are trying to establish. What
you miss is that the statement "dead men tell no tales" is true only in the context of
that which is agreed upon by the people discussing the validity of the statement.
Now, when speaking about the body of the corpse, we can say that the dead tell no tales only in the context of the body function of speech which is an arbitrary parameter we employ for the purpose of our arguement.
In the hands of a skilled forensic pathologist dead men tell volumes writ in their body after death. In this instance we can deny the statement dead men tell no tales because we have now supplied a new context which uses language to establish a new definition to the phrase by showing a new way of looking at the idea through metaphor.
In this instance the phrase is now not valid.The reason is because the agreed upon axiom has changed.
