Hey Guys, Quick question if you can help. For conditional reasoning, is the opposite of "no", "ALL"? For example, "no person can work without A" would the opposite the be "all persons can work with A"?

The opposite of "no" is just "some". This could be 1, 10 , "most", or "all". You have to be really careful with these negations and account for different outcomes.
@TheBigFatPanda so the opposite of no person can work without A would be some person(s?) work without A. How many persons? We just know its not zero.
@TheBigFatPanda thank you so much! this helped
The opposite of a “no” statement isn’t usually “all.” For example, “No person can work without A” means everyone needs A to work. The opposite would be more like “At least one person can work without A”, because the opposite just has to contradict the original, not restate it.
@B.Baltayev I appreciate this! thank you
