Parsons finishes the chapter by admitting that he has not refuted the linguistic/semantic alternatives to the hypothesis that there is indeterminacy in the world, but that he hopes to have shown that worldly indeterminacy of identity is worth considering. But, an attack on alternative views is not needed to this end, especially since it might be, for example, that some indeterminacy is worldly, some is linguistic and some apparent indeterminacy is really a matter of our ignorance. And couldn't Parsons's model for indeterminacy also be taken as a model for linguistic indeterminacy? It is the positive view that contributes most to the debates surrounding indeterminate identity.
