But the real importance attaching to this kind of Ignoratio elenchi begins when we reach the finer shades CHAP. V. ] THE EMPLOYMENT OF GUESSWORK. 189 of it. There is no doubt that the most frequent cause both of real misunderstanding and also of interpretation which is only too penetrating, is the attempt to read between the lines of what is said. Time being short, it seems to be generally recognised that some ellipsis in expression may as a rule be expected. It saves time and trouble in many c...ases to go behind the actual words, answering not what they strictly say, but what the objector supposes they really intend to insinuate. There are familiar euphemisms, for instance, whose ironical meaning is hallowed by custom ; and there are ways of saying much by saying little, and vice versd. But probably the most dangerous of all the sources of misunderstanding, is the gradual change that unavoidably takes place in the accepted meaning of words, so that both old and new meanings are, for a time at least, left existing side by side.
