Reply #45: That isn't my argument...

[IA_Seth]

I'll definitely argue whether this belongs in LBN, it neither breaking, nor news...Iran's current gov't. is rife with those that will deny the holocaust ever took place...it seems silly to march out every last example everytime a new one arises....however that isn't my call.

---------
My argument is the fact that after reading this...

However, if one says "much of what is said about <OBJECT> is no more than X"
this is different than "<OBJECT> is no more than X"
The first statement says that many STATEMENTS ABOUT <OBJECT> = X.
The second statement says that <OBJECT> = X.
The first is an equation of merely a portion of the descriptors of <OBJECT>
The second is an equation of the entirety of the being of <OBJECT>

...You said the meanings of the two are essentially the same. They aren't, it doesn't follow logically that the two statements say the same thing.
