Of course you always couch your wording in qualifiers. It depends upon the meaning of is, right? He was President during 1804 when the first secession crisis started and was not for the New England states seceding. We know that. Or perhaps you think he was for their secession?
Of course you always couch your wording in qualifiers.
If it is factually incorrect to describe something in absolute terms, then yes I will use a qualifier and appropriately so. There's nothing even remotely unclear about it, and in fact it gives my statements a level of precision that yours frequently lack (which is also why you tend to get into so much trouble). As to the meaning of "is," there is nothing remotely appropriate about that analogy. My use of qualifiers where appropriate has been plain and explicit for anyone to read. Don't blame me for your own inability to do just that.
