- dragonwriter 8y agoBecause enumerating a specific case without explicit generalization or inclusion of non-enumerated options implies (weakly; it is a natural but not necessary conclusion) the exclusion of others. It's a fairly common way people naturally read things; in legal contexts is also one of the canons of statutory interpretation, Expressio unius est exclusio alterius.
