Hey Sean, Not sure what you mean by the question, could you elaborate, especially about the "jump"? I should rewrite my previous post for clarity since someone is actually reading ;-) Here it is a little more clearly: An intermediate step between FA and the use of a universal quantifier is the forming of generalizations. Only a semantically ill-formed statement would contain a universal quantifier that modifies something other than a generalization. At least to my thinking. Can you generate a counter-example? (i.e. a semantically well-formed statement that includes a universal quantifier that modifies something other than a generalization.) My thinking in the above paragraph is what lead to my use of the word "between". "Before" would be more accurate as I was thinking of generalization as a "prerequisite" skill to the forming of beliefs that include universal quantifiers. If your question was meant to ask me if I am willing to pretend that the generalization I made is "correct" then, with the above clarification, the answer is... Yes. I would be very interested in counter-examples from anyone who can generate them, however. Todd |
