 It does seem that he is all hung up on not understanding
how the synonymity of bachelor and unmarried works.

 What in the synonymity, other than the synonymity itself,
would be relevant to Quine's topic?
 

 He mentions it 98 times in his paper
https://www.ditext.com/quine/quine.html
I haven't looked at it in years.
 

I don't really give a rat's ass what he said all that matters
to me is that I have defined expressions of language that are
{true on the basis of their meaning expressed in language}
so that I have analytic(Olcott) to make my other points.

 That does not justify lying.

 I never lie.

False pretence to know something whithout trying to find out whether
it is true is lying.

Sometimes I make mistakes.

That is unavoidable. But mistakes must be correted when detected.
If someone claims that you have made a mistake then it is a iie
to repeat the alleged mistake without an attempt to check.

It looks like you only want to dodge the actual
topic with any distraction that you can find.

An error is an error even when you deviate from he topic.

Expressions of language that are {true on the basis of
their meaning expressed in this same language} defines
analytic(Olcott) that overcomes any objections that
anyone can possibly have about the analytic/synthetic
distinction.

As long as you don't discuss the synthetic side and claimed border
cases you have not said anything about the distinction.
