 However, it is far from clear that the above response to Boolos’s argument needs to be committed to any such problematic ambiguities. We can for instance let all predicates take plural entities as their arguments. The verb “ate” will then always receive as its interpretation the relation the-elements-of x ate-the-elements-of y, thus removing any ambiguity. Whether or not this response is ultimately acceptable, it shows that the argument in question remains inconclusive.
