Doing otherwise is a transparent attempt to smuggle one set of conclusions alongside another.
Also do watch that qualifier "appears". It can turn on you and bite your arse unless you pin it down with corroborative evidence.
It does equate in exact meaning by rule of double negation. But it has nothing to do with this subject except that you guys have a hard time digesting phrases for what they are.
For example to say God is not not All-knowing, is the same as saying God is all knowing. Believe it or not, some Islamic philosophers went out their way of saying God's Names are all negations, that is they just negate the opposite, but don't affirm anything. Just to emphasize on God not having positive attributes.
They blurted none-sense and didn't understand basics of human language and logic, and didn't even understand double negation rule.
