You have the right parity but there is a slight semantic difference between that and what I said. Sorry that I wasn't so clear. I'll try again.

There's a difference between "I don't believe X" (which allows for ambivalence) and "I believe not X" (which does not). There's also a difference between "I believe not X" and "I have no doubt of not X".

I was pointing out that there is no dispute or even doubt about the null article's inability to produce thrust (and this would have been a better phrasing). So the question is not "what does the null article's thrust imply about various hypotheses?" It's "what does the apparatus' measurement of thrust from the null article imply about the apparatus?" GP seems to have missed this point.

Agreed on the semantic differences, I missed that one.

> "What does the apparatus' measurement of thrust from the null article imply about the apparatus?"

That makes sense, and I think it's a good question. Thanks for clarifying!
