   You may have gotten confused by double negation.   
   I will paraphrase to clarify.   
      
   I took issue with your exact words:   
   "A group of individuals is not one individual."   
      
   "I took issue with your exact words" Becomes   
   "Alan disagreed that"   
      
   "A group of individuals is not one individual." Becomes   
   "A set of individuals is not one member of this same set"   
      
   "Alan disagreed that"   
   "A set of individuals is not one member of this same set"

   My 28 year goal has been to make   
   "true on the basis of meaning" computable.   
      
   This required establishing a new foundation   
   for correct reasoning.
