In fact, the model remains unidentified: the data we have does not enable us to distinguish whether model A or model B is involved. // Your first example sounds unfelicitous. Perhaps it's meant to mean 'She is not cute in the typical dear-little-kitten, fluffy-bundle-of-fur sort of way.' | |

| Mar 8, 2021 at 22:46 | comment | added | Mitch | This sounds similar to the ambiguity in "I am not going to the movies because of the rain". It could be I'm not going to the movies and the reason is the rain is stopping me, or it could be I -am- going to the movies but the rain is not the cause of my going (it is some thing else). | |
