Michael E. Dummett on Errors - Dictionary of Arguments

I 39ff
I can be afraid of something just imagined. But these examples still have a feature of intentionality, because a deception is not a case in which you can hear or see something without hearing or seeing anything. But we cannot say that in this case the object belongs to the subject.
I 137 ff esp. I 148
Error: There might actually remain a permanent, unclarified misunderstanding, but it could come to light when we pursue the discussion topic for long enough. Thus this illustration is saved from the psychologistic error that each speaker could only know for himself what he means anyway. (>Meaning).

III (c) 123
To allow for error, we must assert that a theory of truth will ensure that the conditions of truth and the conditions under which it is held to be true fit together as well as possible, but not that they fit together perfectly.
It follows that understanding can only be explained as mastery of the whole language.
