It's not a question of logic, but that it can mean 'some', or it can mean 'overall' muriel_volestrangler Aug 2014 #82

"Holds positions" does not imply all positions. Anyone inferring that it does is not being logical. Scuba Aug 2014 #88

"overall" - the word I used twice - doesn't mean "all" either muriel_volestrangler Aug 2014 #93
