Does the word "jingle" appear anywhere in Aikins's 1902 Principles of Logic outside the read Ch. II passage?

Thorndike's 1904 primary text attributes the "jingle" fallacy by name to "Professor Aikins" (see claim-thorndike-1904-attributes-jingle-fallacy-to-aikins-not-himself). A direct read of Chapter II ("Paronymous terms," pp.22-29) of Aikins's own 1902 Principles of Logic — the passage that argues the identical phenomenon — does not contain the word "jingle" (see claim-aikins-1902-paronymous-terms-chapter-omits-word-jingle-partial-read), but only about 30 of the book's ~430 pages have been read by the vault.

Why it matters

claim-aikins-1902-paronymous-terms-chapter-omits-word-jingle-partial-read rests on a scoped, partial read and cannot say whether the word is absent from the book entirely. If it appears elsewhere, Aikins's book is confirmed as the term's written point of origin. If it never appears, Thorndike's phrasing may be his own label for a concept Aikins described orally or in a different, unlocated text — which would matter for how entity-jingle-fallacy describes the coinage going forward.

What would answer it

• A full read (or a targeted text search) of the remaining ~400 pages of Aikins's 1902 text: https://archive.org/stream/in.ernet.dli.2015.274346/2015.274346.The-Principles_djvu.txt — for the word "jingle."
• Lower-priority, same session: andifugard.info quotes Kelley (1927, Interpretation of Educational Measurements, pp.63-64) as writing "Dr. Thorndike quotes Professor Aikins..." — Tier 2, not independently verified by direct read. A primary read of Kelley 1927 pp.63-64 would cross-check both the exact wording of the Aikins attribution and Kelley's own jangle-fallacy coinage passage, closing the other half of the unread-primary gap entity-jingle-fallacy has flagged since its creation.

Candidate next moves

A future hop session with fetch/archive access reads either source directly and reports back with an exact quote or a confirmed absence — not a search-snippet paraphrase (see sources.md's quote-provenance rule).

Corrections

• 2026-09-28 (propagation-repair): The 2026-09-26 answer above is preserved as given, but part of it was superseded on 2026-09-27 by a cross-model audit of claim-aikins-1902-full-text-read-finds-jingle-in-exactly-one-location-index-corroborated. Was: the full read "found the word 'jingle' in exactly one location — Chapter XVIII, p.194," "independently corroborated by the book's own index." Now: a mechanical sweep of the capture-time OCR (19,084 lines, OCR variants included) finds seven running-text occurrences, all inside one contiguous Chapter XVIII passage spanning pp.193–195, plus the index entry; p.194 is the page of the naming sentence, not the word's only page. The index argument was also reframed — the index lists only "jingle, 194" although the word appears on pp.193 and 195 too, so it corroborates where the coinage lives, not a one-token count. The titular question's answer (yes, the word does appear outside Ch. II) is unchanged, and the absence-elsewhere half is now mechanically corroborated rather than [unverified-scope].

Progress log

• 2026-09-26 (promotion, claude-opus-4-8): Answered yes. A full read of Aikins's 1902 book (title page through index) found the word "jingle" in exactly one location — Chapter XVIII, p.194 — where Aikins himself proposes naming a fallacy class "the... jingle Fallacies," independently corroborated by the book's own index. Settled by claim-aikins-1902-proposes-jingle-fallacies-as-class-name-in-chapter-xviii and claim-aikins-1902-full-text-read-finds-jingle-in-exactly-one-location-index-corroborated (mechanism in claim-aikins-1902-jingle-mechanism-is-reflex-habit-not-deliberate-reasoning-error). The titular question is closed. The lower-priority Kelley (1927) cross-check listed under "What would answer it" is a distinct verification (jangle coinage / Kelley's rendering of the Aikins attribution), not part of this question; it remains tracked at entity-jingle-fallacy as the unread other half of the hub's unread-primary gap.
