For sometimes, though there may be no
doubt as to a term, there is a question as to what it
includes, or, on the other hand, there may be no
doubt about the thing, but no agreement as to the
term to be applied to it. When the term is agreed,
but the thing doubtful, conjecture may sometimes
come into play, as, for instance, in the question,
“What is god?”
