There is very much a difference. A duhu should have a truth value,
while a siho is a mental object. If you're describing something
inside a mind, siho is clearly fitting. If you're talking about
proof, or hypothesis testing, or suchlike then duhu is fitting.
A siho isn't true or false; a duhu isn't a mental object.

But A could experience B wondering about C, so sometimes we wouldn't
want a lambda variable.

Its completion is what I'm waiting for.
