I would think that if you really wanted to confirm that all crows were
black you would look, not a crows, but at nonblack crow sized birds,
to confirm that they were not crows. If I were looking for crows I
would probably miss any nonblack crows, because I think I know what a
crow looks like. Thus the useful confirming instances would be
nonblacke noncrows rather than black crows.
