Massification and Boxes/Taxis

[Randall Holmes <holmes@DIAMOND.IDBSU.EDU>]

If you try using massification, you are still faced with the problem
that "I want a box" does not require as part of its truth conditions
that there be any boxes whatsoever; translating it as "I want a piece
of Mr. Box" doesn't work if there are no such pieces!!!

Consider as a test case "I want a unicorn"; this is a statement which
_can_ be true, and is clearly not about any piece of the mass of unicorns.
