The problem: to capture the difference between:
1. The lion lives in Africa. = A lion typically lives in Africa.
2. I study the lion. != A lion typically is studied by me.
A bogus problem with a bogus solution. lo'e X broda != lo X ta'e broda
; and the equivalences you draw for English are irrelevant to Lojban.
This is an attempt to make prototypes non-unique for no better reason
than a spurious copying of English, and I reject it with extreme
prejudice.
