    There’s nothing about “complete” or “total” that implies exclusivity. Even a broken clock is right twice a day, he was bound to stumble into a logically consistent position eventually.

      I guess technically there is no implication, sure. Instead it is more like the literal definitions of “complete” or “total.”

          You are specifically choosing things that are not mutually exclusive in these contrived examples, come on.

          Of course this is stupid to argue about in the context of all the rapes and corruption he has done. You’re right that this line of discussion is dumb as heck. Get your last word in but I’m done. Thanks for snapping me out of it.

            Snapping out of it was all I wanted. This is nothing, even if I agree it is idiotic. There are much more important things to be talking about.

            That said, since you invited me to have the last word and because I enjoy having the last word: Contrived? Bruh. The salt and pepper was contrived, yes, as an underhand toss to get the idea of non-exclusion in without political charge. The other examples were specifically not contrived. Non-specific examples of the exact thing being examined. C’mon.
