Shirley, you can understand that the first statement is an absolute- exclusive and the second statement is a conditional-inclusive and are logically opposite statements, one false and the other true. That is the beauty of reading for disagreement; you can always justify the disagreement. If readers spent just a small fraction of their effort interpreting for agreement instead, discussion would flow so much more smoothly. Interpreting an exclusive statement as an inclusive statement is logically invalid. To read for agreement, the reader examines statements in context and ignores the minor inconsistencies that the author has made in the prose. Taking each statement out of context and examining it individually will provide a myriad of opportunities for finding disagreement, if that is the objective. Sometimes, there are net reflections existing where there is no impedance discontinuity. Excellent. Agreement. Nope, not agreement. Your absolute statement was false. My conditional statement is true. There it is again; searching for disagreement. If you had said 'sometimes', your statement would have been true instead of false. And is that not exactly what I did with my clarification to the original sentence? Are you sure that you do not read with the intent of maximizing disagreement? ....Keith |
