infinitely contestible

one Arthur C. Danto in his essay The Politics of Imagination quotes Wittgenstein: The human body is the best picture we have of the human soul. And then he [Arthur C. Danto] adds, referring, to Wittgenstein: His point, infinitely contestible as everything he wrote...

how very funny, apparently this Arthur C. Danto doesn't consider his own writings infinitely contestible

i'm curious to know what he would have said about this line: Tao that can be spoken of is not the Constant Tao - is it infinitely contestible

by the way for contestible Google returns 8,880 results, whereas for contestable - more than 2 million. i wonder if the usage has changed so significantly since 1988. it might.

contemptible is fine though.
