Two auditors of a temple trust differ. The first reports that the trust employs forty persons; the second reports that it employs twelve. The first has counted everyone who draws a monthly sum entered in the trust's cash book, including the garland women and the two watchmen whose pay the shopkeepers of the lane contribute; the second has counted only those holding a written appointment from the trust's board. Each accepts every entry in the other's list as correct. Their difference can be settled only by

Both auditors are right about everything they have counted, and each accepts the other's counting; there is accordingly no fact left over which a further examination could decide. What divides them is whether drawing money from the cash book, or holding an appointment, is what 'employed by the trust' shall mean, and that is fixed by ruling on the term. A third auditor over the same cash book would produce the same two lists. What the board intends next year says nothing about this year. And asking the forty for their own opinion only collects forty more uses of the disputed word instead of settling it.
