It's either extreme or not extreme. "Extreme" can have an absolute or a relative sense. See for example: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/extreme senses 2, 4, 6. "utmost or exceedingly great". In any case, we don't need to quibble about the definition of "extreme". The point is that "even X" requires X to be an outlier, but it usually also allows another "even Y" where Y is even more of an outlier than X. mu'o mi'e xorxes To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to lojban-list-request@lojban.org with the subject unsubscribe, or go to http://www.lojban.org/lsg2/, or if you're really stuck, send mail to secretary@lojban.org for help.
