Insufficient(describing why Harry alone can't be the complete truth-maker): Not enough by itself to accomplish something; here, Harry alone doesn't have enough 'oomph' to make the statement true without also considering his property of being golden.
Participant stance(as the framework Strawson emphasizes for understanding blame): The perspective you have when you're actually involved in relationships with people—caring about their character, intentions, and how they treat you personally—rather than standing back as a detached observer.
Sher(as referenced in discussions of blame and responsibility): A philosopher (George Sher) who developed a theory about how blame works and what mental states are necessary for it.
belief-desire pair(as the mental elements a person might have when doing something blameworthy): A specific combination of one belief (something you think is true) and one desire (something you want), taken together.
