The point is that to me, there is a difference between "I hate my boss" and "I hate vegetables." If I go out drinking with my boss and determine he's not that bad, I might express that as "I don't hate him anymore." If I try several new kinds of vegetables and determine that I like them, I wouldn't say "I no longer hate them" but rather "I was wrong - there are some I like." This is because "I hate vegetables" doesn't mean I'm feeling something in the same way "I hate my boss" does. Again, what it really means is "if I eat a vegetable, I will not enjoy it." Also, I invoke Godwin's law.
