... yes, if you remove words from a phrase, it can make the phrase
unclear. But then it's a *different phrase*; read the original phrase,
and it's fine.

It's no different than seeing `if(true || something())` in code; it
doesn't matter what `something()` does because the presence of `true`
makes it irrelevant. And if you take away `true ||`, `something()`
becomes relevant, but it's also a *different statement*.
