Address some concerns raised in the comments

| Jun 23, 2022 at 11:26 | comment | added | Five Peaches | @EdwinAshworth I'm aware of some of these disagreements, at least, and I will edit my post to better reflect that fact. However, it doesn't seem to me that that invalidates my core point. | |

There are different schools of analysis (look at all the different 'grammars'), so bald statements like '... complements never can [be left out]' (while a position held by most) need to be accompanied by whose pronouncements these are (eg, CGEL / Huddleston & Pullum, here). You may want to look at the conflicting definitions, still not harmonised, for 'complement' ,in the relevant thread here on ELU. | |
