That is a binary state logic statement. Most of reality is not binary, and is instead shades of grey. For instance everything is not either hot or not hot, since there is not definition of exactly what hot is. There is a full spectrum from cold to hot, and can include very warm, slightly hot, hot, very hot. Thus it is impossible to divide into two groups. Likewise soup is neither water, nor nonWater, instead it is partly water. You get into this a lot with ethics. Many things are almost impossible today to determine if they are ethical or not, and different people will have differing opinions. Thus everything can be A, nonA or partly, slightly or mostly A as well as other proportions. Marshall -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
