This is born out
1. I think "This is born out" should be "This is borne out". Do you agree?
2. Does "inviting" go back to Nauman's piece?
Text:
Nauman cites both Beckett and Wittgenstein as key to his understanding and employment of words. This is born out in an early piece, A Rose Has No Teeth (1966), where the words are taken directly from Wittgenstein’s Philosophical Investigations, and reflect Wittgenstein’s preoccupation with the failure of grammar to separate plausible statements from implausible statements, inviting the reader to think about the difference between the phrases ‘a rose has no teeth’ and ‘a baby has no teeth’.
