 Secondly, it’s not mere unrevisability that seems distinctive of the analytic, but rather a certain sort of unintelligibility: for all the unrevisability of “There have been black dogs,” it’s perfectly possible to imagine it to be false. In contrast, what’s peculiar about analytic claims is that their denials often seem peculiarly impossible to seriously think: it seems distinctively impossible to imagine a married bachelor. Now, of course, as we noted, this could be due simply to a failure of imagination. But what’s striking about about the unrevisability of many apparently analytic cases is that they don’t appear to be like scientifically controversial cases such as curved space-time or completely unconscious thoughts. The standard cases about, e.g., bachelors or pediatricians seem entirely innocuous. Far from unrevisability explaining analyticity, it would seem to be analyticity that explains this peculiar unrevisability: the only reason someone might balk at denying bachelors are unmarried is that, well, that’s just what the word “bachelor”  means![15]  The challenge, though, is to clarify the basis for this sort of explanation.
