One can be at home and be in the backyard, that is, not in one's house at all. βββ βββ ββββ ββ ββ βββββ βββββ βββ βββ ββ βββββ ββ βββ ββββ βββ βββββ βββ βββββ ββ βββ ββ βββββββ βββ ββββββββ ββ βββββ βββββ ββ ββββ ββ βββ ββββββββ βββ βββββ βββββ ββ βββββ βββ ββββββ
The author claims that βoneβs being at home is not required for oneβs being in oneβs own house.β To back up this claim, we are offered an example: if you visit a house that you own but rent to someone else, you can be in your house but not at home (because itβs someone elseβs home).
The claim that one can be at home without being at oneβs house doesnβt actually form part of the argument. Instead, itβs a piece of context that introduces the substance of the argument. Because the conclusion only focuses on being in oneβs house without being at home, being at home without being at oneβs house is ultimately irrelevant to the conclusion.
