I do wish it be so read, and this is how people should already be reading such statements, for the reasons given above. Requiring that all “1-epsilon” be always written as “nearly all” instead of “all” is wasteless verbiage.
Precisely my point. Why, then, did you object to my “all” when I glossed your position as “all creationist Muslims are culturally traditional.”? [ETA: Object, that is, by accusing me of saying that you were making an absolute 100%-certain claim.]
[This is a separate issue from your objection that I didn’t say “All Muslim creationist women in Cairo who meet the criteria that you specifically identified . . .”.]
Ah, man, not so straw-stuffed when you put it that way...
All of my arguments carry over mutatis mutandis to this version of your position.
