Given the case "it will not do":

        not(it will not do) == not(true)
=>   not(not(it will do) == not(true)
Cancelling the double negatives in the case at the left, we get
        it will do == not(true) == false        (2)

So asking "will it do?", which is a query as to whether or not the case
that "it will do" is true, merits false (from (2)), so "no".

Hi There,

This thread is starting to veer off-topic, can we just stick to the technical part and skip the grammar/logic nitpicking?

Thanks!
