or "...and are both those that we've been talking

The move from "the x that are p and the x that
are q" to "the x that are p and q" is a normal
error on the part of first month Logic students. 
The correct distribution is to "the x that are
either p or q": not that everything in the
combined heap has both proerties but that each
has one or the other.
