I don't see this. And if it's true, it seems dangerous to associate the
fact that there is one apple vs many apples, with the fact that the things
are objectively apples, as opposed to something that it simply being
called an apple for the sake of this discussion. I want to be able to
express all four combinations of {one apple, many apples} and {objective,
subjective}.
