 However, even if such an appeal to similarity worked for the case above, there is the problem that for many terms, our total belief sets simply aren’t all that similar. After all, the similarity response presupposes that most of the beliefs and inferences associated with a particular word are shared, but even in a generous sense of sharing, one might think that the total belief set that I associate with my name for Omaha, a city which I’ve never visited, will not be even remotely similar to the belief set of someone who grew up there.
