The negation of "many"?

Chloeeee

Hi guys,

Is the negation of "many" "none" or just "not many"? I think the negation is "none" because "many" implies "more than 1" and how many it exactly implies depends on different contexts. Did any lesson cover this?

Thanks in advance!

The binary cut of some (1-100) is 0, none.

The negation of some is none. "not many" I think translates to the same idea because not many is not some and if it isn't some, that really just means none.

Ex: Many dogs are brave. This just means that some dogs are brave.

the contrapositive is No dogs are brave. = No is group four, negate, necessary...or: if you are brave you are not a dog.

D → ~B~
B → ~D~

Technically, both are correct (NONE and NOT MANY) ... just easier to use none .

It might be helpful to just mentally replace 'many' with 'some' every time you see it. (Yes, in real life, many means 'more than one,' but in lsat-land, we can just think of it as 'some'; subjective and objective bias and all)
