Alfred Tarski on Rule Following - Dictionary of Arguments

Wright I 284
Tarski/rule-following/McDowell: When we say

""Diamonds are hard" is true if and only if diamonds are hard",

then we are just as heavily involved in the right side, as alleged by the reflections on the rule-following.
It is tempting to overlook that and to think that somehow the right side presents a merely possible fact which is presented as non-conceptualized configuration of "things-in-themselves".
