Intentional Phallacy

[Henry Musikar]

Whenver I hear a discussion of intention vs. evidence to the 
contrary, I am reminded of this description of Judd in "Oklahoma":

"He loved everything and everybody, only he never let on, so nobody 
ever knowed."

And yet, intention is always important to the intender. They even 
try to derive it in a court of law, from evidence. But we can't 
presume intention unless someone does "let on" in some way, however 
indirect.
