Re: [s-d] [s-b] oracle report


Antonio, I am a bit concerned about this.

Consultations have to be (a) phrased as a question, but they also have to be
(b)  phrased in a form that gives an answer of true or false.

It seems a little odd to zot a consultation that follows (b) but not (a)
when you haven't zotted consultations that follow (a) but not (b).  Do you
see what I mean?

(And, lets get this out of the way: it is *not* possible to phrase a
consultation so that it honours (a) *and* (b).  Only *statements* can be
true or false.  See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Categorical_propositions)
