Y is not X The latter interpretation is strange, but sometimes people do it.
This page is auto-translated from /nishio/XでないY using DeepL. If you looks something interesting but the auto-translated English is not good enough to understand it, feel free to let me know at @nishio_en. I’m very happy to spread my thought to non-Japanese readers.
