- The thing I've had trouble with in Etchemendy is his insistence on
- varying the meaning of the quantifiers. It seems like his points (def-
- initely the point about cross-term restrictions, but seemingly other
- ones as well) depend on the problems caused by varying quantifiers, but
- I fail to see any motivation outside of his argument for ever varying
- them. It seems like you'd run into plenty of trouble if you started
- varying 'or' and 'not' too, but somehow it doesn't seem important. Maybe
- you know something I don't? I could easily just be missing his point,
- and if you could fill me in, I'd be thrilled.
