Ordinarily permutation of the words 'Cicero' and 'Tully' will change the truth value of this sentence and only one of the permutations will make it true. The truth of (1) depends upon the detailed, highly idiosyncratic behavior of an individual. There is a great deal of data showing that fine distinctions will exist between any two words, no matter how frequent they both are in the individual's vocabulary or how frequently they serve as approximate synonyms.
