Well now, this is interesting.

Well now, this is interesting. All of the other responses here have acknowledged that it is ambiguous (as Erik himself acknowledged) and argued that it should be ambiguous. And here you are saying the exact opposite: it is not ambiguous, the original rendering making it ambiguous is broken and needs to be fixed, and Erik fixes it by introducing new syntax (which, BTW, makes the new representation no longer an S expression). It seems to me that the fact that people can't even agree whether he actually meant P or ~P ought to call his wisdom (or at least his ability to communicate) into question.
