The average man is 5'9" tall, say; man in general is not any particular height. And so on through a mass of statistical information. Man in general seems to have only generic properties -- being a mammal, bipedal, and the like. Xorxes {lo'e nanmu} does not actually work too well for "man in general" even -- and is more likely to be something acted upon than something acting -- or having properties. |
