@djc depending on context perhaps, but you may just be saying i was wrong. if i say this list is a comprehensive list of our school’s holidays, and you then tell me “this list is more comprehensive”, that implies that my original statement was mistaken. (you would not say, “yes but”, you’d say “no, …”). 1/

@djc if i say Google is compehensive, then you say Neeva is more comprehensive, that would be “yes, but…”, but it implies my original statement meant “extensive but not comprehensive”, rather than comprehensive. shades on using “literally” to mean “figurative”, which is both common and jarring. /fin
