Carlos…when I said “some of you” it necessarily meant that I wasn’t included in that set. It seemed like a fairly straightforward proposition, but I now understand I have to add extra nomenclature and perhaps footnotes for you.*

*You, as opposed to me. Though philosophers have long debated whether saying the word “you” actually really does exempt oneself from the directed comment, it is now commonly accepted that when one says “you” they are understood to not mean themselves.
