Apr 13, 2011 at 21:13 comment added Peter Shor Suppose we say "Tom was not bitten by a wolf." Does that mean that he wasn't bitten, or that he was bitten but not by a wolf? Normal English doesn't clarify this, except maybe by context. Does that mean we shouldn't use the sentence "Tom was bitten by a wolf"? Why should we require that mathematical English clarifies a similar hypothetical negation?
