saying that something is not nothing says something about something that
is not nothing; hence, it is a legitimate predication.
consider two statements concerning the nature of predication:
A: predication is saying something about something
B: predication is saying something about something that is not nothing.
I’ve previously expressed my view that [A] should be understood to mean
exactly what [B] appears to mean.
you’ve claimed that [B] is untenable; but, you never really gave an
example of a statement of predication that met [A] as you interpret it
without meeting [B] as I interpret it.
would you do that, now?
