I find that words and their meaning can have magical properties, despite this discussion not seeming to me to have bearing on my article; perhaps a new thread on semantics can be started? It matters not to me.
For example, if I say all that is is all that is, then I am not really saying much. On the other hand, if I say that all that is is the universe generated by a universal set then at least that has some content as evaluatable as true, false, neither, or neither of what's prior to this truth value, or neither of what's prior to this truth value, or neither of what's prior to this truth value, or neither of what's prior to this truth value, or neither of what's prior to this truth value, or neither of what's prior to this truth value, or neither of what's prior to this truth value, or neither of what's prior to this truth value, or neither of what's prior to this truth value,
