I'm not swure how to encode that, but I suspect that
it would be be something like either asserting that
Greeksa re philosophical AND Greeks like to talk, or
asserting that IF a Greek is philosophical THEN that
Greek likes to talk.

I'll have to mull over how that fits into ABLE, if it
in fact does fit.
