LOL, we're being unkind. The modal operator doesn't -always- fuck up...no system fucks up all the time. It's worth noting that the fuckup in the modal operator only presents itself when confronted with the open question of existence as a real, not real, primary, or secondary predicate. It actually gets pretty difficult to understand, linguistically and logically, why certain means of inference are valid, why they signify truth (if, indeed, they do)...and whether or not we're using the right terms in the proposition.
Often enough a person is familiar with one or two of these currents but not all of them, and so they get blindsided by shit like the time traveling future setting newspaper/shipwreck example.....that's absolutely valid and unquestionably sound but -somehow- wrong with reference to our experience. Logic breaks, even when we don't -try- to break it, as chad did above.
You majored in philosophy....Whatevs? I never knew. All the art history spots were taken or something?
