BS: If we have a sentence in a biology textbook, say "blood cells are 
non-nucleated",
then is this about cells in reality (as I, and I guess common sense, would 
assume)
or about cells in the biology model?    (02)

If by "about" we mean something like "applies to" or "true of",
is there any harm in saying that the sentences are about both?    (03)
