 IAN: That's almost as goofy as people who claim
 that A is A free from not-A; of course, in the
 fused-horn-goat case, there was at least a
 single example of their case (fake as it
 may have been), yet the atomists have
 neither a real nor a fake unicorn.

 No, my mistake, the atomists have come up
 with several fake cases, like Anton's cat
 that was a cat free from the black void
 around it defining it as a cat, bOiNg!
 Wow, now that was one phoney unicorn!
