Yes, that makes sense. That at least one of the dogs bites
at least one of the men would be a necessary condition
for our description, but not sufficient. There would also
have to be a reason for taking the dogs as a unit and the
men as another unit.

In any case, that would be a more common situation than
the perfectly coordinated full distribution of bites.
