This is the bit I don't understand. Suppose there are three animals,
Alfie, Boris and Candy, and you kill Alfie. Thereafter you have
killed Alfie, but I cannot see how (i) it is true that you can
have killed any single one of them (since you can't have killed
Boris or Candy), and (ii) why my subsequent identification of
the animals has any effect on which was the one you so casually
slaughtered for the sake of explaining semantics to us.
