The first is an exclusionary statement -- only one CAN exist. The second is a wish for the situation to be otherwise -- Alan would like there to be more than one (ostensibly so he could be in more than one place at a time). Repeal the law of simultaneity! Matter should be free to exist in multiple places at the same time! Free the bound variables! -- db
