I'm obvsiously missing some point here.  If you do not claim that the
two (lo nu broda and lo fasnu) are identical semantically, then how come
you can claim the biconditional?  maybe its the hour of the night.

Maybe it is that too.  Probably I should drop the discussion since I never
seem to convince anyone of anything and even Cowan says I make no sense.

Your reactions suggest that we are close to getting back to the ancient
discussion about needing lo tanxe that led to enormous largely pointless
volume 2 years ago (indeed it was 2 years ago Thanksgiving that we had
something like 200 postings in a single day on the list or some similar
nonsense).
