Threre are no such things as "logicians". There are good logic students,
like you, Eric. You get an A+. I.e. if you were to display such level of
intelligence in R. Paul's courses of logic, he'll give you an A+ regardless.
Cheers, J. L. S.

How do logicians deal with the durational aspects
of an attribute? Cats do not purr all the time, so
aren't qualifiers necessary?
e.g.
All cats purr sometimes
This is a cat
This cat purrs sometimes
OR
Male kittens become male cats gradually
Un-neutered male cats spray
This is a male kitten which will not be neutered
Eventually this kitten will become a cat and spray
