I worry about sets and consideration of edge cases. Legal, programmatic, medical. Adhering to a convention that presupposes meaning and claim that interpretation is the only interpretation, cannot be resolved with repetition. I remain unconvinced.

You were the one to claim the only interpretation (in opposite of OP who merely claimed "typical English" interpretation). Moreover, your interpretation directly contradicts both conventional typical English interpretation, which would be relevant in legal context (where making such claims with empty set in mind would be deemed misleading), and conventional formal-logical interpretation, which would be relevant in programming (where the truth of `array.every()` doesn't imply the truth of `array.some()`).
