A mass of taxi singlets vs. a mass of taxi pairs ?!

If you don't see any problem with "pa/re selci poi karce", I don't know
why you wouldn't just use "pa/re karce". Since the problem that the latter
has is shared by the former, why use such a convoluted expression at all?
The question whether it is any selci or certain selci is exactly the same
between any or certain taxi.
