I think it is best if I avoid getting into a debate as to whether Chow's
version of Kripke's version of Wittgenstein is more authentic than
Silver's version of Kripke's version of Wittgenstein. Let me just say
that I see a difference between ChowKripkenstein and SilverKripkenstein
and I think that ChowKripkenstein is a much deeper skeptical argument
about vagueness than SilverKripkenstein (or least than
ChowSilverKripkenstein).
