"merely"
DanGrayson opened this issue · comments
After our discussion of \eq and \eqto, I think this make no sense at all:
How can we have a English adjectival phrase encoded by a type that is not a proposition? For example, to have an
element involves existence of an element, and existence already involves propositional truncation. And here the usage
of "merely" seems to be redundant:
Maybe we should throw out the words purely and merely.
Can you come up with any examples where adding "merely" to a sentence makes it more robust?
As agreed: I'll come up with a proposed definition of merely for next time, and remove the use of purely, which seems totally redundant.
