- throwaway744678 7y agoIn natural language, "or" generally means "xor" - as is the case here.
- falcor84 7y agoObviously you're probably right, but I'll just try to troll this a bit. According to the principle of charity (or steelmanning), you should interpret an argument in the strongest possible way, and thus you should in this case interpret the statement with an inclusive or, which is more likely to be true.

- pdonis 7y agoAh, yes, you're right.
