<< If the PAIS was a DOULOS, he could have said so. >>
Yes, but if this PAIS (at Mt 8:6) was his hUIOS, he could have said so too!
<< Well, the PAIS in Matt 17:18 happens to be a hUIOS (17:15). >>
Of course, every male PAIS happens to be someone's hUIOS! But when it was
the father speaking, the father used the term hUIOS (Mt 17:15); it was
Matthew (the narrator) who referred to this father's son as hO PAIS
(17:18). And thus here at Mt 17:18 PAIS does not refer to the speaker's son!

"Words are like people. To know them well one must meet them on their own
level, in their own environment. In different circumstances they react
differently. Like a face they take on varying expressions. Some of them
move from place to place; some never return to their earlier familiar
surroundings. But to know their past is to know a little better what makes
them act as they do in the present" (Frederick W. Danker, "Multipurpose
Tools for Bible Study," 1993:135).
