Mr. Boop and Mr. Ali onlyhad that discussion, because Mr. Ali used the word many in the context of his presentation and Mr. Boop demanded to know how many membersconstituted many.

Had Mr. Ali said "some or a few", Mr. Boop, being an attorney and being fond of such discussion,likelywould've asked how many "some or a few" amounted to. Is it any clearer now?
