Sec. 6. ERRORS INVOLVED IN THE USE OF ARBITRARY OBJECTIVE STANDARDS.


It may readily be seen that such definiteness and uniformity as this
classification possesses results from the introduction of more or less
arbitrary criteria for the differentiation of the various types of
reactions. The question might arise, To what extent do the
distinctions thus made correspond to reality? To consider, for
instance, our rule for the placing of sound reactions (50 per cent of
the sounds of the shorter word to be present, in the same order, in
the other word): when a given reaction (_man--minstrel_) is in
accordance with the rule assigned under the heading of sound
reactions, can it be assumed that sound similarity and not some other
relationship is the determining factor of the association in question?
Or when in, a given instance (_cabbage--cobweb_) the sound
similarity falls somewhat short of the standard required by the rule,
can it be assumed that sound similarity is not, after all, the
