I fail to see the relevance of that distinction.

It seems to me there's always a compromize to be made?

edit: it seems it's your entire point, so in fact I agree with you and the question should be asked to taustin.
Doonge:

Yes, exactly. It seems that I should have used a less-emotionally-charged issue to make my point, but I forget sometimes that I'm on a public forum where not everyone has had to learn to distinguish between facts and opinion, emotions and logic, as part of their education. (Of course: it helps to have a natural inclination toward logic.)

It was a simple logic/mathematical exercise: Set A does X, subset of A does Y, and Z is the result for the entire set of A. I thought it was pretty obvious, but clearly, some people would rather be angry than strive for comprehension.

You are precisely correct: there are no absolute zero outcomes. ;-)
