    I only skimmed his paper. I don't have to even look at anything

    It is a tautology to say that expressions of language that
    are true or false on the basis of their meaning are established
    as true of false by a contiguous sequence of truth preserving
    operations as truth-makers between (x or ~x) and the expressions
    of language that make (x or ~x) true.

    When anyone disagrees with the gist of this they are necessarily
    incorrect.

    When the conclusion is proved to be wrong then the reasoning
    need not be examined.

    false on the basis of their meaning are established as true of false by

    When I figured out exactly how {analytic} truth is unequivocally
    delineated from non {analytic} truth then anyone saying there
    is no such clear delineated has been proven to be incorrect:

    {Analytic} truth is essentially nothing more than a special
    kind of mapping between finite strings.

    It is a tautology to say that expressions of language that
    are true or false on the basis of their meaning are established
    as true of false by a contiguous sequence of truth preserving
    operations as truth-makers between (x or ~x) and the expressions
    of language that make (x or ~x) true.

    In that case you don't know how sensitive his conclusion is to

    Which is irrelevant to your false claim about Quine.
