Who was thinking that Yacht was larger than it is ?

The present paper is a reply to Borisov's recent criticism of my interpretation of Russell's joke about yachts. I partially agree with him in the issue of semantic content / truth conditions differentiation. Nevertheless, I deem it necessary to clarify the basic idea of my approach and to to draw attention the main drawback of the Borisov's 'objectual analysis III' - namely, his interpretation ignores the “reflexive" content of the analyzed sentence.
