I'm not surprised that you're confused. Oz's statement was what the old
English barristers used to call a "negative pregnant." Example: if I say
"I
didn't hit him with a lead pipe" do I mean I didn't hit him, or that I did
hit him but I did it with a cast iron pipe instead of a lead pipe."


I still think that he said that Agent Orange didn't cause cancer.

What do you think?

You may take this opportunity to demonstrate your cognitive powers to the
group ....

OTOH, you might decide to treat my question as the perfect platform from
which you might display your total ignorance.


So far, you seem to favour the "ignorant" option.
