 The syntactic form of (A) seems to suggest that it’s about an actual object known as the average mum; but, of course, it isn’t—to read it in this way would be to misunderstand what people mean when they utter sentences like (A). Likewise, according to Yablo, while it might seem that (M) is making a claim partially about an actual object known as 2, it really isn’t. Rather, the real content of (M)—i.e., what typical utterances of this sentence really say—is that there are two Martian moons. And, of course, this claim—i.e., the claim that there are two Martian moons—is not a claim about the number 2 or any other abstract object; it is nominalistically kosher. In sum, then, the idea here is that fictionalists about pure mathematics can endorse a paraphrase nominalist view of mixed mathematical sentences.
