In Quine's classification of paradoxes, the potato paradox is a veridical paradox. The potential and veridical conditionals reflex the degree of certainty that something would have occurred. Still others take practically everything Plato wrote about Socrates as veridical history. Nicholls also claims to have had several veridical out-of-body experiences. This amounts to assuming that respondents interpret numbers in a veridical way. In veridical conflict, when it occurs, there may not be a mutually satisfactory resolution possible.
