With .a, the whole is true as long as at leat one component is. With .o, as noted, the whole is true as long as the number of true is of the same parity as the number of components. It turns out to be very hard to say things like "exactly one of the following" using only logical connectives -- and when you can do it, it is very complex. Hence the explicit construction for that purpose. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ WRITERS WANTED!
