Abstract
A significant argument for the claim that knowing-wh is knowing-that, which is implicit
in much of the literature on this, is spelt out and its significance explored. The argument
includes an assumption that knowing-wh involves a subject being in a relation with an
answer to a question and an assumption that answers to questions are propositions or
facts. The paper considers a series of counterexamples to the conjunction of these two
assumptions, developing refinements until the best one is achieved. The neatest response to the existence of this counterexample is to deny that answers must be facts.
