If we are defining ANY as an n-element LIST operator, in a programming language, which recursively applies the 2-operand AND taking literal Boolean values, there are no ambiguities.
Note that this is inherently a constructible relation, which avoids many pratfalls of more general mathematics.
But if ANY & ALL are being defined as general mathematical relations over all EXISTING members of a class (whose members’ construction, consistency or completeness, may be unknown or even unattainable), then there are other issues.
