What is the problem with my claim? You didn't say.


What you actually said was
<"all of all" does not add information, on the contrary, it loses
information, at least if you agree with me that "all" does not
have existential import.>
which I take as an unequivocal claim that {ro} does not entail {su'o} in at least some contexts.  This goes against basic logic and original Lojban -- see the first paragraph of the root message of this thread.
