 If deflationists can account for the fact that we must apply the notion of truth to express a norm of assertion, then does normativity pose any problem for deflationism? Crispin Wright (1992, 15–23) argues that it does, claiming that deflationism is inherently unstable because there is a distinctive norm for assertoric practice that goes beyond the norms for warranted assertibility – that the norms of truth and warranted assertibility are potentially extensionally divergent. This separate norm of truth, he claims, is already implicit just in acceptance of the instances of (ES). He points out that not having warrant to assert some sentence does not yield having warrant to assert its negation. However, because (ES) gives us (ES-con), we have, in each instance, an inference (going from right to left) from the sentence mentioned not being true to the negation of the sentence. But the instance of (ES) for the negation of any sentence,
