"What two contradictory descriptions agree on may not be the same from
case to case": If you identify concepts with sets, and agreement with
subsets, the number of ways you can find agreement (subsets) will
generally be greater than there are elements in either set. (02)
"You still don't get your FO": It will be a poor FO which is larger
than the sets it seeks to describe. In fact I think contradiction
follows automatically from the greater number. (03)
