No, I don't again.

| It seems to me that the original phrase has a limitation on dissimilarity: no two objects can be dissimilar to that extent while (2) has no limitation: no matter how dissimilar. Also, the most important, (2) changed "two objects" to "all objects", which makes difference. BTW, if that were true, then the word "disrelation" would have no meaning any more. |

Dear Haihao and Jamie (K),
I do appreciate your help and comments.
My interest was in whether <No two X are so Y that ...not Z> was a subtype of <No X is so Y that ... not Z>.
Thank you
