Prior to my posting, there was an IMPLIED fact that ALL lions NEVER share. That further down in the article I referenced it says that SOME lions OCCASSIONALLY don't share is not salient to my point that lions DO share.
But that's just it, Myridon.
We can't say lions DO share any more than they DON'T share. We can definitely say they SOMETIMES share, but saying that they DO implies that it is the way the will always act, which isn't the case.
Do you see what I mean?
