 The transparency thesis is in fact consistent, not just with expressivism and commissive accounts, but with any of the four non-detection-based self-ascription procedures described at the beginning of this section (and indeed Aydede and Güzeldere 2005 attempt to reconcile aspects of the transparency view with a broadly detection-like approach to introspection). This manifold compatibility flows from the fact that by itself the transparency thesis does not go far toward a positive view of the mechanisms of self-knowledge.
