If I have on my shopping list "yams," do I fill the rest of the sheet with explicit exclusions like "not pudding?" No, they are all excluded by simply not having been included.
If we propose a raceless society, why are we mentioning a race? That's the weird part.
- aklemm 9y agoIf I declare we need to eradicate all biting dogs in my town, does it make sense for me to also include biting rabbits on the list? To be arguing this deep into the problems of a unclear sentence is INSANE!
- ameister14 9y agoNo, but it doesn't imply that you also want to remove biting rabbits.
- rdiddly 9y agoIf you want to eradicate biting dogs, does it make sense to add an extra word to specifically limit the scope of the effort to just white dogs? It's not an unclear sentence. And you're probably quite sane.
