Skeptical about skeptics
Don't be silly!It doesn't mean that, though. Natural languages are not systems of formal logic.
Either you did do something or you did nothing.
Either you did do something or you didn't do anything.
You might be illogical but that doesn't mean that language has to be. One shouldn't have to try and figure out whether somebody is employing a double negative or they are using one negative to reinforce another.
BTW if I have to deal with a child who has done something wrong then I already know what they have done and that they are lying if they deny it.
